RI.....My beach is loaded with ducks but we've never had a duck itch problem.Every week or so I start my boat while tied to the dock and put it into gear at low idle,directing the flow of water toward the beach with the trim up slightly so as not to gouge a hole in the sand.Then I use my roof rake to gently agitate the area.It keeps the bottom sparkling clean,dislodges any potential weed growth.
You can reach out 20' or more and it's quite easy,really......good exercise too!
