Managing bottom growth and hull stains
I had to leave my 206 moored for about 10 days in the local lake. I knew I would get some bottom growth but was surprised by how much accumulated in the short time. I also got a nice hull stain apparently from all the tannin currently in the water (so says AI). The bottom growth scrubbed off with a little elbow grease and the stain quickly came out with a little oxalic acid solution. I'm sure the white hull exacerbates the problem. :/ I also wonder if older hulls are more susceptible to water stains.
But now I'm curious as to what others do who keep their boat moored for longer periods. Are their tricks that I should know about?
