A clean prop is an efficient prop

Oct 12, 2023

As marine growth accumulates on its blades, boat propellers markedly lose efficiency. SEAJET PellerClean from Lewis Marine is the simple, eco-friendly way to keep running gear sparkling clean for up to two years.


Biocide-free SEAJET PellerClean is safe to apply and won’t contaminate the environment like many competing products. It includes a zinc chromate-free epoxy primer that provides optimal adhesion. The silicone-based top coating creates an ultra-smooth, ultra-slippery surface that fouling cannot accumulate on. Ideal for propellers, shafts, struts, rudders and trim tabs, it’s equally effective whether used in fresh, brackish and saltwater.


As the vessel is underway, fouling simply slips off SEAJET PellerClean. For boats that are idle or cruise under five knots, a quick sponging will remove accumulated debris. A video detailing the simple application technique is at www.bit.ly/PellerClean.


The Small SEAJET PellerClean Kit from Lewis Marine comes with cans of primer base, hardener and clear coat to cover 7.5 sq. ft., and full instructions. The Big Kit covers 41 sq. ft.

As I shift our chartered canal boat into neutral, I’m soothed by the soundtrack of bird calls, the occasional plaintive horn of a distant train and the hum of our engine.

I reach for the VHF to radio the lockmaster in charge of Erie Canal’s Lock 32 dead ahead. Our boat spins gently in the current like a maple key in a mud puddle.

“This is Onondaga,” I say. “Headed westbound and requesting passage.”
