Bill, If you say Velox is good , than I
believe it to be true. Velox never responded to me ,when I
asked this question,maybe you know. Is Velox not to be used
in fresh water? I know some bottom paints should not be used
in anything but salt water. I followed the instructions and
my prop was covered with barnacles in three months.

Thanks,

Pat SM#123

Only use AGM's if your battery chargers,
including high-amp engine-mounted alternator can be set for
AGM charging. If you do not set the charges for AGM charging
the AGM will work, but you probably will not get the life
that you planned. I would use a normal wet cell for the
engine start and fit the highest amp battery that will
fit...there is more space for the engine start than a Group
31.




I have used lots of different ideas on the prop. The
best has been Velox and if you use a black bag over the
prop, be sure to add 2 cups of powdered clothes washing soap
to the bag.

Good morning Jeff,





Hope to be corrected if wrong, before you purchase AGM
batteries, make sure your engine alternator can be set for
AGM, otherwise you will damage the batteries.


(Obviously your Batterie Chargers can be set for AGM).





I had Velox put 1.5 year ago, and it worked beautifully for
1 year, I will use it again.

My battery bank needs replacement.


Trust me. Forgive me if this information has been
discussed


before, and is redundant.Anyone have


issues with AGM batteries outside of possible replacement
in


remote areas?I can  get 31M-AGM7


batteries with a RC (reserve capacity) of 190 + 400 RRC


(repetitive reserve capacity-basically adding 400 minutes
to


the RC for $250, with 36 mo


warranty.Compare to $115 for a flooded


wet cell with a RC of 195, and 18 mo.RC


(for those wondering) is the amount in minutes the
battery


can have a 25 amp draw before going


dead.Unless I can be convinced otherwise


for good reason, I'll spend the extra $.


Thoughts?My good friend Eric


(Kimberlite) brought up the possibility of using


Velox(spelling) paint on the prop.The


issue of keeping the auto prop clean and growth free has


been discussed ad nauseum on the site.


With that said, I question the value of


a painted on product. Obviously the ultimate answer is


regular cleaning .Unless that is


possible, the spray on pettit prop coat seems like it
would


offer a smoother result (aerosol application) and give
some


protection.Eric commented to me he got 6


months out of an application.Anyone have


any experience with it or


insight?Thanks,BTW...thanks


for the furler
