Method and device of detecting the fouling of a propeller mounted to a vessel 10 and connected to a main engine providing power to the propeller 14. The method includes comparing the relation of revolutions per unit time of the propeller vs. time obtained during a coasting maneuver in actual conditions and a corresponding curve obtained while performing a coasting maneuver with the propeller with no fouling. Assessment of the fouling level of the propeller 14 is based on this comparison. With the present method it is possible to detect the condition of the propeller 14 remotely, without relying on values of the performance that are cumbersome and costly to measure.
