Something has changed this year with my prop. This is year three so there's not a lot to base this on but I've never had this growth on my shaft and propeller. Normally the zincs are gone or barely there. That's not the case this season and all these barnacles are unusual but this was an unusual season too.
This is on a 75 Sabre 28 moored and sailed in Penobscot Bay Maine. We did not use the boat much in June and July due to nasty weather. Commissioning included disassembling the external A4 attachments and clean/paint. Engine ran fine and no signs of electrical imbalances but I didn't look either.
In case you wonder, there's little play in the unknown aged cutlass bearing.
Any ideas?
Thanks
