Default aluminum boat coating?

Hi Group
I live in South Louisiana and have a 14 ft unpainted aluminum boat. It does not spend much time in the water but after 4-5 days in the water I get a good algae growth that is hard to remove. what coatings are available to prevent this growth? in the past I tried Easy On Bottom Wax sold by West Marine. It has limited life.
thks
