ABSTRACT:
An apparatus is provided for protectively covering an outcropping, such as a motor prop, of a boat. The cover includes an adjustable collar, a flexible, opaque bag, and an adjustable collar draw line. The bag has an open top end attached to the collar. A closed bottom end of the bag is opposed to the top end, and has a weight attached thereto. The adjustable collar draw line of the collar is such that with the bag placed over the outcropping, the open end of the bag may be closed around the outcropping by pulling the adjustable collar draw line. The collar includes a locking slot for locking the adjustable collar draw line in place around the outcropping. A manipulation handle removably attaches to the collar for facilitating the placement and removal of the cover onto and off of the outcropping. With the cover in place over the outcropping, water and light are prevented from entering the interior of the bag, whereby water borne life forms such as filter feeding creatures and plant life cannot thrive within the cover. As such, the outcropping is kept virtually free of water borne life forms while the outcropping is covered.
