Estimated number of boating accidents in the U.S. were over 170,000 with only about 7,000 being reported because of serious injuries.  The major portion of this 7,000 involves propeller strikes on people.  Many of these injuries could have been prevented if the boat propeller had a protection device in place.
 
Another example for concern in safety can be seen in Florida where there is major public and political action for the safety of manatees and people.  This public action is very close to enacting state laws requiring propeller protection devices on all boats in Florida.  This is just one of many states examining ways to enact laws to protect their boating citizens.  Indications are that more states and organizations would pursue new propeller protector laws if a good quality and reasonably priced protector was available.  The Prop Guard®   offers that protection and could be the leader in causing these laws to be enacted. 
 
Here is more evidence to support the marketability for the Prop Guard® .  The following are reported estimated statistics taken from the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) and the U.S. Coast Guard for 1997:
 
Number for people who participate in boating 78,406,000
 
Total number of registered boats 16,284,000
 
Number of outboard motor boats 14,811,000
 
The amount of money spent on boating 19,334,470,000
