A friend at work lost his sailboat to the storms last year. He gave me a buch of stuff and included was a contaner of Crystal Lakes Hull and Bottom Cleaner. I think the parent company is Marykate. It is the 20 oz size, and I mixed it up according to directions (I made about 1.5 gallons) and washed the hull and lower leg of the outboard.
Man oh Man, oh Man! This stuff does what it says! The hull was clean of algie, barnicals, etc, before washing, but was getting very yellow, same with the outboard lower leg. This stuff took the yellow off. I mean it really took the yellow off!!! I mixed according to directions, then applied with a rag and my bare hands. Big mistake! Bare hands end up burning! Ouch! ouch! ouch! Use gloves!!! Read directions!!!!
Anyway, this product worked to remove the yellow stains from fresh water use.
Don't know if iboats sells this stuff. If not, then call iboats and ask them to order "Crystal Lakes Hull and Bottom Cleaner".
I have no affiliation with this company or their sales. Just wanted to share my experience with a product that actually works.
BTW: The left over mix I put on the aluminum wheels of my car and they look like new! Took off all that brake pad dust and yellowing that happens with coated alluminum wheels. Can't ask for more.
This was free to me, but the tag from the marina my friend bought it from says $18.99 for the 20 oz size. Well worth the expense.
I just love it when a product works as advertised!
(Ya know, with about 4000 posts, I am not hawking a product that I have financial ties to. Don't have to do that.)
