The left two propeller blades have been coated with PropOne, a foul release propeller coating; the right two propeller blades have had no treatment.

Key Points:

Fouling is the accumulation of marine organisms on underwater surfaces and is an inevitable part of boating life.
Foul-free vessels get increased speed and less fuel consumption.
Common solutions to prevent fouling are antifouling and foul release coating treatments.
Antifouling is the use of biocidal paint coatings, designed to kill marine life that adhere to vessels.
Foul release coatings work by making surfaces too slippery for marine life to attach themselves and are safe for the marine environment.
PropOne is a foul release coating specifically designed for propellers and running gear as an alternative to propeller antifoul.
