Re: Cleaning the prop

I usually use dilute hydrochloric acid on my prop. If comes out quite clean.

Be careful not to inhale the fumes. Many spots need repeated acid washing until there is nothing left to remove. On some spots that are large , when the acid stops foaming it is time for new acid. I then use fine emery paper and my prop always comes out like new. I do this every 2 years when I haul to change the prop seals. Fair Winds Eric Amel Super Maramu #376

It'll cost a minimal amount and can be done while you wait.
