My Engine

What is the best way and cleaner to get all this muck off? This is one thing I dont like about the slip...I was told ON OFF for the hull, but how bout all this crud?? 

[BigAl13]

Power wash it then elbow grease. theres really not a cleaner that will do it. also next year youll want to get a can off anti fouling outboard paint and paint anything(besides the prop) below the water line.

Al does a Steamjenny do more then just a pressure washer?

[BigAl13]

Depends on the pressure it could help but if its too hot Id be weqry of taking the paint off

My marina used some type of acid wash I think..

Use a hammer.  If that doesn't work, get a bigger hammer.

You guys crack me up!!! I love it and all of you!  Great news, "Mr Fish" is all winterized and tucked away for the winter! I still need to get a tarp to cover him since the one I had I used for the roof; pretty much like everyone else did since the only one I could find was a buck 70 and large enough to cover my entire house    I know, I know, why am I covering him.... It just makes it nicer and soooo much easier for me when spring comes....I'll take care of a few final touch up's and with a quick rinse on the inside I'll be ready to Rock and Roll with some FUNK then be on the hunt for the Striped Ones!!! One of the most exciting things I am looking forward to will be inviting you guys to join me!! He fits 4 nicely with a sweet spray guard and cushions up front (it comes down too)to take a nap under or get out of the sun if you wanted! Mark's seen him, he can vouch for me!  I can take 6 but ONLY IF EACH PERSON KNOWS HOW TO FISH With him being a center con...we have the entire boat to work! Thanks again for the help and suggestions family...I like the hammer idea, but think a lil elbow grease will be the way to go right Al! Right!!!

 Just power wash it.  I have a 3000psi one and it does a great job with little effort

I'm gonna do that too with some other stuff to coat the bottom of the engine with...it wasn't paint, I can't remember right now I have it written down. Actually I think Al or maybe Nick told me about it too...I'm hoping the guy rebuilds the Marina that I was in so I can get a slip again, BUT if not that one, I sure hope to get one somewhere!! So I'll be putting a fresh coat of paint on too! I have to take photos of the before and after of that...or should I say of 'me' hahaha My dad used to tease me... he'd say sweetheart, you did get some paint actually on the boat right??!!??!!

wear a mask and use a paint brush and use on/off by mary kate.. the water line and gunk will melt right off.

Luna is this Mary Kate for boats or a commercial product used elsewhere??Where can it be purchased?  I have some water stains above the water line might use it on,but concerned about the gel coat. Thanks PL
