Rub vasoline all over the propeller on your boat, and you will be very surprised when that propeller no longer can get a "grip" on the water and move the boat forward! The propeller will spin and spin but will have lost its ability to generate enough force to move the boat all because the vasoline greatly reduces the friction between water and the propeller. Talk about spinning your propeller and not getting anywhere but at the same time an aluminum or stainless propreller will get the restoration and renewal benefit of petroleum jelly.
