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.

Tahiti—Updates from Paradise

By Zuzana Prochaska

I’ve been to Tahiti seven times—six on charter and once as crew for a couple of yachties. Over the 25 years that I’ve been visiting, it’s changed dramatically. Yet, inexplicably, it has also stayed the same.

Lounging on the flybridge of our Sunsail 454, I had time to think about this dichotomy as I toasted the nighttime skies of Bora Bora and specifically the Southern Cross, a constellation that never fails to hypnotize. As the Crosby, Stills & Nash (1982) tune reminds us:

…you understand now why you came this way.
