How badly do barnacales on the prop affect performance?
I have some on the SS props on my BIII, and today we could not get on plane and WOT was 3,200 rpm. The boat has been in the water since April 1, but I checked the bottom and the drive and there is very little growth. A little slime on the bottom, and a few barnacles on the drive, but no more than the end of last year. The props, however, have a few...perhaps 1 every square inch or so (?).
Thanks!
