Purple Power full strength! I use it everywhere on the boat. I have a spray bottle half and half and a full strength. My props look just like yours and I sprayed some on and left it for a couple minutes. Took all that stuff off. 

ahh option #3 enters the game. I happen to have a gallon of that stuff at home.. guess I'll try that first.

Yes, I love purple power!  I plan on cleaning my prop a little today, but it's not terrible, so I'm gonna try polishing with flitz.

If using muratic acid and you are diluting with water, it's always add "acid to water" not "water to acid". And always use proper PPE

I was sitting at the dock today admiring my clean props shining under the sun and water.  The wife thought I was crazy. My dock neighbor came and sat next to me and enjoyed a beer while we talked prop cleaning solutions...  Not a bad day.

See you next year paint brush..



Wondering if I could use muratic acid on my transducer..what's it do to plastic? Seemed to not damage my bucket at all.

I would some fine Scotch Brite or steel wool on the transducer to clean it off. Would hate to see something get damaged.

Lake Erie is so dirty that I can't see my props even on a bright and sunny day. You can't even see the bottom of the swim ladder when it's in lol
