    Check this out..........

    https://www.screamandfly.com/showthr...om-Prop-covers

    This fella used to be (or maybe still is) on the Allison owners forum years ago and had a really neat XB21 that someone referred to as "big bird". He sold it and then I hadn't heard or seen him post.

    I was cruisin on S&F recently and came across a guy selling these prop covers and it turned out to be him. I bought 2 covers and I'll tell ya what.. the absolute nicest piece of work I've seen someone stitch together. I really hate to put one on my prop to trailer but he says that what they were designed for. I'm going to buy a grommet kit and install one on either side then attach a tether just in case it might blow off. Tim said he hasn't had one blow off yet but I ain't taking any chances.

    Check them out!! I'll take a pic of mine and see if I can post them. Really sweet looking

    Cool. Let us know how well they stay on. I have a different style and I pull mine for fear of losing it on the road. I also fear losing it to someone who fancies it as well.

    What is is the material?

    No problem

    Geoff, the material is a heavy fabric kinda padded I think. I'll have to look it over much closer again tomorrow and try to get a close up pic or two. The stitching/sewing is perfect and a professional job. The fit is perfect over my Promax prop which was lying there so I grabbed it. I'll try the XOB since that's a larger prop.

    I would not leave it on if traveling and stopped overnite etc. cus it is too tempting to steal. I'm looking for a grommet kit so that I can attach a small lanyard or something to snug it up while trailering. Tim (who sells them) stated he has trailered with them on and never lost one.

    I've been using one of the gray mariner racing ones on my super mag for about 6 months and haven't had any issues with it trying to come off. Very high quality covers.

    I am using tinypic now to upload pics but can't figure out how to rotate a pic first. I bought the grommet kit today. On the black one I'm going to add the grommet at the top near the opening in that middle panel and one on the opposite side to attach a tether.

    Thanks.

    I have 3 I use right now that look similar (now that I see it up close), but mine have handles. Mine don't look as rugged. I use them to protect some props during storage when traveling, and my spare prop rides in one in the boat.

    Some of my props are extremely sharp. I would like one as a cover for the sharp wheels. Especially when camping and my kids play around the boat.

    I wanted to see a photo because I was thinking of using it in the water when we swim as well. The kids have cut themselves on my dull lake props.

    I was going to order 2 so I'd have another for my spare, on-the-boat prop, but wanted to see them in person first to make sure it was the quality I wanted. I can already see by these pictures that the quality is there. I'll let the Christmas shipping rush get by before ordering the #2 cover though. Enough stuff will be lost and damaged as it is.

    the prop is my promax which happened to be close at hand.

    Geoff, I have a few of the prop bags you described and yes they are good for storing and carrying them. I wanted this one for traveling and once i install grommets they should be great

    Yeah I have 2 like that but never gave it a thought to use it for trailering. I just store my spare prop in it for in the boat

    My cover came in yesterday and it is extremely well built and looks great too. Tim put the express shipping on it undoubtedly to beat the Christmas rush. I will order another one.
