Pontoon Boat & Deck Boat Forum

My 'toon has a 50 HP Johnson. I keep it moored (fresh water) all summer long and every fall when I pull it out for winter winter storage here at home the paint is just about gone off the prop. I would like to trim the motor up out of the water when moored, but my power trim leaks down after a couple of hours and I cannot reach the manual up trim lock from the dock. I stripped what paint was left this past fall and really cannot see painting it again. I am tempted to just leave it bare aluminum this summer. Any see a problem with this? I really do not see a difference between the bare aluminum toons and it.

Thanks
Jack

It dosnt make any difference at all.

Well, unless you use some of that Stainless Steel paint, right? Everybody knows Stainless props are better than Aluminum!

I painted my stainless prop black to look like aluminum so it would not get stolen.
