\"Painted<\/a>
Spray-painted prop recently spotted in a boatyard<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The owner of this propeller has his boat on the hard and is doing some work himself. \u00a0Many of the other boats in this yard have propellers that have been cleaned and even polished to a nice, bright bronze. \u00a0I saw this boat when it first arrived, and it had obviously been neglected for some time. \u00a0The prop was covered in barnacles. \u00a0It seems that the owner looked around; saw the bright wheels (propellers) on the boats around him, and formulated a plan to make his look like the others. \u00a0That plan obviously involved a can of shiny, metallic-colored spray paint. \u00a0If you click on the picture above, you can see the spray paint overspray on the shaft. \u00a0Well, that is a quick way to get a shiny propeller, but I don’t think the spray paint is going to hold up well underwater. \u00a0It also seems that he is missing the point of cleaning up the propeller–to get better motoring efficiency. \u00a0Or, could it be that this guy knows something I don’t?<\/p>\n

I don’t plan on any of this sort of window dressing for\u00a0Idle Queen–<\/em>no shiny bits intended only for show. \u00a0She’s going to be rough and ready… \u00a0Maybe more towards “rough”…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
