I have a Mercury SS prop that is starting to show rust on the inside (thru exhaust) and on the stamping. Is there a product that will remove it and what do you use to prevent rust on the prop?
I would worry about it too much, especially the inside of the hub. However, if you want to clean up the outside use Flitz for a metal polish. If you have a lot of rusty spots and/or white deposits (from leaving in the water), pick up some naval jelly at the auto parts store. The acid will remove the corrosion and deposits and also re-passivate the surface of the metal so it doesn’t rust as easily.
