lake scum
have had to leave the v in the water while waiting for my dredge to start then they will put my new boat lift in. i talked with them last fri and they hope to start dredging sometime late next week! i have be taking 5gal gas cans down to the dock to gas the boat,but ran her very close to empty this past weekend. at 60 gal it would take 12 5gal cans to fill up!!!! i was thinking may pull her out and go fill up. while she is out plane to wash and clean, but i have that red lake water line scun line. i have heard that tolit bowel cleaner is the best thing to use? any one brand better than the next? let me know what you think. thanks

I'm sure it works differently for different types of scum but Attwoods Hull Cleaner that they sell in Walmart works awesome on my Raritan Bay scum....spray it on and rinse it off with no scrubbing.

Aluminum Brightener, sold in various brands works well. Highly acidic though so don't get it on the trailer. Spray on and rinse off.

Toilet bowl cleaner, like Sno Bowl, is good. Be careful though as it contains Hydo. Acid. I typically put it on in 5' sections at a time count to 10, then wipe/spray off.
Works great at removing slime......and gel coat if left on too long.......

If none of the other suggestions work, try On & Off...don't breathe it or you'll wish you hadn't...but it'll clean the boat...

I like Bar Keepers Friend. It is a mild acid cleaner that will not eat the galvanize off of your trailor but still is strong enough to take off most of the organic stains ( leaf marks, water line, fish guts, etc ). Seems to be a whole lot easier on wax job than most hull cleaners.
