I'm looking for a good marine shaft coating
(OP)
I'm trying to find a good coating system that will hold up to beaching and the sand blasting of turning shafts in shallow water. We have used fiberglass- but the smallest failure would allow water between the wrap and the shaft and hold in water- causing more corrosion. We have used the plastic coating in the past with not much better results. Any ideas or leads would be appreciated.

I guess you have tried polyureathane already. It is one of the common coatings for slurry pumps.

check out sultzer-metco or do a google search on "metalizing or flame spray or hardened coatings"

Assuming its a relatively small shaft (you mentioned "beaching"), I'd recommend a good marine grade stainless steel - proper material selection is much better than any feasible coating.

Suggest You try "floating" this question in the tribology Engineering Forum forum342... there are lots of similar problems noted there.
