Help with propeller maintenance

[CJRodriguez]

Good day my fellow seaman.
I am a new Boat Owner and this week I am doing maintenance on my propeller and Saildrive leg.

Researching the internet I got overwhelmed so I said, Let me ask the experts.

I just finished cleaning up the propeller and its parts, clean all barnacles and gave it a good clean, now. This is a propeller of a Yanmar Saildrive 2019 it has been in the water for only 5 months and will go back this May.

I decided to do all the spring work my self but I could not find the procedure and materials to sand, prime and paint the propeller along with the cap, also the materials I will need to put it back such as grease, nut protector and torque LBS to tighten the bolt.

here are some of the photos of all the clean propeller parts

I am also looking to paint the Saildrive leg and don't know if I should use the same procedure and materials, it seems very clean and barnacle free.

Help. your collective advice is appreciated

Prop Shield - antifouling grease.

Easy to apply, cheap (ish), works, can be renewed in the water.


VERY VERY MESSY - do not get this anywhere other than the props.
