PropGlide Prop  Running Gear Coating Kit - Large - 1250ml [PCK-1250] - CWR-88670

Prop & Running Gear Coating Kit - Large - 1250ml

PropGlide™ is a foul-release coating that when applied to your propeller(s) and running gear will increase fuel efficiency and the performance of any vessel. This super slick coating keeps your propellers clean from marine growth for extended periods of time. Gain the advantages by applying PropGlide™ to your vessel.

PropGlide™ is available in four easy-to-use size kits. The Sailboat Kit makes it affordable for all boat sizes. Get over 25% more product with 30% savings over competitive brands.

Increase in Prop Speed Means a Faster Vessel

PropGlide™ dramatically reduces drag on the propeller and running gear caused by even the smallest fouling. Since growth is unable to attach to PropGlide™ you will achieve higher RPM and vessel speed.

Improved Fuel Efficiency

Clean props and running gear provide more efficiencies to the engine and less fuel is burned and money saved!

Biocide-Free and Environmentally Friendly

PropGlide™ is not a prop antifoulant, it is a foul release coating. It contains no harmful biocides, and performs because it is a super slick coating!

Ease of Application

PropGlide is easy to apply for Do-It-Yourselfer's and not just for the professional applicator.

What our Experts Think

• Performance-Boosting Coating System: The PropGlide Prop & Running Gear Coating Kit (1250ml) is engineered to reduce drag and improve prop efficiency, helping your boat achieve higher RPMs and smoother performance.
• Advanced Foul-Release Technology: Unlike traditional antifouling paints, this uses a slick, non-stick silicone coating that prevents marine growth (barnacles, algae, mussels) from attaching—keeping running gear cleaner for longer.
• Fuel Savings & Efficiency Gains: Cleaner props and shafts reduce engine load, leading to better fuel economy and lower operating costs over time.
• Large Kit for Bigger Applications: The 1250ml size is ideal for 36″–48″ props or twin-engine boats (40’–60’ range), covering props, shafts, struts, rudders, and trim tabs in one application.
• Biocide-Free & Eco-Friendly: Contains no copper or toxic biocides, making it safe for marine environments while still delivering high performance.
• Professional “Hot Bond” System: Uses a two-part primer + silicone topcoat that chemically bonds for long-lasting durability when applied correctly.
• DIY or Professional Use: Designed for both professionals and experienced DIY users, with a complete kit including primer, hardener, and topcoat.

Q&A

Q: What is the PropGlide Prop & Running Gear Coating Kit?
A: A marine foul‑release coating system for propellers and running gear that prevents barnacles, algae, and slime build‑up to reduce drag.

Q: What size and kit contents?
A: Large 1250 ml kit suitable for big props and full running gear; typically includes primer components and silicone topcoat for complete application.

Q: What performance benefits does it provide?
A: Helps reduce drag, improve fuel efficiency, boost speed/RPM, and minimize maintenance frequency.

Q: How does it compare to antifouling paint?
A: Unlike biocide‑based paints, PropGlide creates a slick, non‑stick surface that makes fouling organisms easier to shed without toxic chemicals.

Q: Is it DIY or professional?
A: The kit is DIY‑friendly, but proper surface prep (sanding + degreasing) is essential for best adhesion and longevity.

Q: Drying and cure guidance?
A: Allow sufficient dry/flash times between primer and topcoat; a full cure is typically achieved before launch (weather and conditions affect timing).

Q: Why choose this large kit version?
A: Offers greater coverage for twin props, larger running gear, or multiple boats — ideal for larger performance craft or frequent use vessels.

Maintenance Tips

• Ensure Proper Surface Prep – Always sand metal surfaces to 60–80 grit and clean with solvent before application; poor prep leads to coating failure.
• Follow “Hot Bond” Timing – Apply topcoat within 5–15 minutes after primer to ensure proper chemical bonding and durability.
• Inspect Coating Regularly – Check for wear, peeling, or impact damage on props, shafts, and trim tabs—especially after heavy use or grounding.
• Clean Gently, Not Aggressively – If buildup occurs, use soft cloth or sponge; avoid scraping or abrasive tools that can damage the slick coating.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals – Do not use strong solvents or acid cleaners on coated surfaces; they can degrade the silicone layer.
• Reapply When Performance Drops – If you notice increased drag or marine growth, recoat to maintain efficiency and protection.
• Store Boat Properly – When out of water, avoid contact damage and keep coated surfaces clean and dry to preserve finish.
