Prop Bag Material

Boat engine prop bags are commonly made from heavy duty rip-stop nylon.or plastic coated woven cloth. The material from which the bag is made should be durable, weatherproof and reasonably thick. The colour and weight of the cloth may be subject to local regulations and minimum specifications. As the prop bag serves a dual purpose, to both draw attention to the prop and prevent injuries on it, the material should be in a bright warning colour and heavy enough to stop anyone accidentally knocking into it from cutting or otherwise injuring themselves.

The prop bag should be capable of being left exposed to the elements for long period of time (almost indefinitely) and so it is essential to use material that is stable in sunlight, weather and rot-proof and able to stand up to some serious scrapes and scuffs without getting ripped or badly damaged.
