Re: Bottom buildup on boat
Dunn782...I leave my 16' Aluminum Starcraft in the water from April to November in West Harbor. I pull it around July 4th and wash and spray it off and then again at the final pullout in early Nov. Each time I use Muiratic acid found at Menards, Meijers, Lowes, Walmart, etc., which is about 30% hydrochloric acid in a 2 gallon garden sprayer to remove the marine growth. I spray the hull first with hi-pressure water then spray from the waterline down with the HCl soln., then follow up with another hi-pressure rinse. Do this outside preferably with a good breeze blowing as the fumes are quite nasty. My hull looks as good as ever when finished. The acid will discolor any unpainted parts of my trailer but it does not discolor painted areas. I would spray a test area first just to be sure. Good luck.
