How does one KNOW that Mick Jagger is English, and not Scottish?
Were he Scottish, the song would have been called "Hey, McCloud! Get off of my ewe!"
Chip... Lanolin has the benefit of being waterproof, VERY sticky (therefor resisting mechanical abrasion... it's even used on propellers, rudders, and trim tabs) and is also naturally anti-fouling: It prevents barnacles, slimes, and grasses from adhering to the hull and running gear WITHOUT being highly toxic or highly cathodic like copper-laden bottom paint.

SO what you're saying is you should lube your bottom instead of painting it?

My daddy told me to Beware of Mutton Dressed as Lamb.
Were he alive today, he'd agree that nowadays you need to Beware of Lamb Dressed as Mutton! 
I finally bit the bullet and bought two pounds of the stuff online. The shipping cost almost as much as the sheep goo.

Heywood did you ever get your sheep lube? And how do you apply it to the bottom?

Bit the bullet and ordered online. It'll be here sometime next week.
As for application, I'll be painting it on, slightly thinned with turps thoroughly shaken in a ball jar. I intend to paint all the below-the-waterline metal parts, not the whole hull.
My principle interest is in lubing and protecting the Lenco electric trim tab motors, but I'll probably put it on the thru-hull transducer and the trim tabs themselves, to see if it is as ablasion/abrasion resistant as it's advertised to be.
