Painting stainless steel bravo 3 prop to help prevent corrision

[Eriejosh]

Due to bravo III corrosion issues would it make sense to paint or clear coat the prop to help prevent galvanic corrosion? If so with what?

2nd question has anyone used one of the anti foul spray paints to touch up the bravo III. no corrosion issues yet just a small bare spot on the skeg? any ideas

Howdy,


The paint will not stay on. If you're leaving it in the water (Brackish/Salt/fresh) you NEED to ensure that your Mercathode is working properly.

There is a PLETHORA of information on the internet about Bravo III corrosion. If your Mercathode is not set up correctly for your parking spot, it can even accelerate the corrosion!!
