Running Gear Paint
I would like to know what you guys are doing with paint in terms of the running gear.
I usually paint the struts, rudders and trim tabs. The boat that I purchased last spring did not have bottom paint on the shafts or propellers. The new place where I am staying is suggesting that I paint the shafts as he suggests the bottom paint is compatable with stainless steel.
Regarding the props, he simply sands them smooth but doesn't treat them. I believe that the marina where I bought the boat used some clear heavy zinc type of paint on the shafts and props.
What say you?
Thanks
