Use starbrite hull cleaner, very strong.

We used to spend countless hours scrubbing/powerwashing all that algae off our hull. Last year someone suggested toilet bowl cleaner so we tried it. We just squirted it around let it soak for a few minutes and it literally washed off with light scrubbing. Our hull looks the best it has in years. Our hull is white so it didn't affect the coloring, not sure if it would or not on other boats.

Lysol toilet bowl cleaner…. Blue gel type. Mixed 50/50 with hydrogen peroxide.

Someone posted it on the bu owners web site over a year ago. I had some stains I though I could not get out… and they are now gone. It’s not hard on the trailer paint either.

Mix some up in a squirt bottle…. Just the amount you will use… Brush it on with a car wash type brush…. Rinse it off… and you will be happily amazed.

It is important to spread the toilet bowl cleaner around with a brush lightly, then let in soak for a few minutes before washing it off.

Gotta use Sno Bol for the tough stuff man! Scrub it lightly. I did and you could see it intstantly remove the scum...unreal how well it worked.

If you put the sno bol in a garden sprayer you can apply it better

CLR Calcuim Lime Rust remover. Kansas lakes will stain a white bottom boat. Try it.
