Cleaning outboard lower unit

[ribar]

Hello all,

Well time to put her away for another season. Up until this year i have been keeping my boat in dry dock. This summer i was able to get a spot in the water and with that comes the usual build up of scum and water stains and was wondering what some of you use in a spray, scrub and wash format that does a good job. Its a white evinrude so the stains really show. I have heard that CLR would work but was wondering if there is any specialized spray cleaner out there(that doesnt eat paint) for an aluminum hull and lower unit.

Thank you (Looking forward to your methods)

Check out a product called power1one. http://www.atinsco.com/products.htm. I've heard good things about it.

Around home for heavier cleaning I use a product called Mean Green from home hardware. Pretty strong stuff that you can mix as desired. Might be all you need.

Cheers

marinas sell a acid product, forget the name... but it does a great job on cleaning the boat... wet your boat 1st, apply the product with a scrub brush etc. let sit for a minute or 2 then go back over and scrub it again... works great

Powerone is pretty good. Napa here sells it. Mean Green and Slimy Grimy are decent products. I personally use a commercial acid based hull wash.

Starbrite Hull cleaner is what the marinas around here use. Spray on, brush and rinse off. Works great, and is easy to buy.
