Green algae on boat bottom

BroadHopper · 11-08-2004, 05:25 PM

I wax the bottom of my boat with Starbrite premium wax with teflon. It makes removing the algae a lot easier in the fall. If you remove the algae immediately after taking the boat out. It is a lot easier than waiting for it to dry.

Whenever you’re using a product that could harm anything that is in the area you’re working in, try hosing the area down with water first.. If your trailer is covered with water it will dilute anything that gets on it and save your finish.

I have used Slimy Grimy for the past few years, but find it is not quite as easy as 'spray it on and hose it off'. Be prepared to use a sponge or brush to really be effective. It does a good job at softening the grime, but needs a little more help than just the hose to get it clean.
