If I leave the bottom growth, can it damage anything?

Divers here are ludicrously expensive and are limited in what they can do due to environmental rules.

As for growth doing damage, like anything to do with boats (and aircraft) preventative maintenance is all important. If left unchecked it gets into seacocks, cooling water inlets and costs go up accordingly.

We pay $51 per month for our diver who does a good job. Like to keep him employed as he's a retired Vet who only has one leg, swims a bit like a mermaid

With that amount of use Ian the propspeed would be good. I had it on mine but after a three month period of little use the props started to get small shell growth and from then on it deteriorated rapidly. I went to antifouling on them and it's better but my use would be much less than yours.

Yes, I bought all the bits to service the engine hours last week. I was checking my logbook, I have done just under 100hours, in 12 months. I was pretty happy with that use.
