I had a lame brain idea and then realized it may not be too crazy after I found a similar product called Prop Pak. The Prop Pak is a basically a boot that slips over your prop to protect it from barnacle growth. My idea is to slide a tarp under the boat from the stern and pull it forward to cover all the running gear, then tie it off on each side with the tarp extending out of the water about six inches. I like my idea better because it can be installed and removed without getting in the water. Has any one ever tried something similar? I've also heard of people placing a plastic garbage bag over their prop when they are going to be away from the boat for a month or two.
