PROP SOX - They're an inexpensive way to protect propeller blades.
August 26, 2013 
Propeller blades are one of the most important components of an outboard or sterndrive propulsion system. When even one blade is damaged, it can ruin the top performance of a prop that costs hundreds of dollars. (Sometimes more than $1,000.) That's why Davis Instruments' Prop Sox are an important accessory to help protect propeller blades when the boat is not in use. They also protect them from road kickback when trailering. The Prop Sox system includes three injection-molded plastic covers that fit most boaters' propeller blades. They are ideal for keeping propeller blades safe from dings and dents while out of the water. Prop Sox work with most sterndrives and outboards. The bright, molded plastic socks simply slip over each propeller blade. They're held in place with a rubber shock cord strap. But wait, there's more! When you're towing your boat, reflective hot dots alert drivers following too closely behind. The Prop Sox can also help prevent personal injury to those walking near the prop by covering sharp edges. For use when a boat is out of the water only, a set of three Prop Sox, shock cord straps and three reflector hot dots from Davis Instruments costs $9.99.
They're $8.99 on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Davis-Prop-Sox-450/dp/B001HBZ146
