How much do i cut the muriatic acid?
Many thanks...

Best thing to cut the algae on your hull is a solution of water and muriatic
acid (the same stuff used for swimming pools). Be sure and wear eye
protection, long sleeves (on a shirt that you never intend to wear again),
latex gloves, and a respirator, if you have one. It's a crappy job, but it
will cut the algae like nothing else. If you intend to slip your boat next
season, you can save yourself this grief for next year by getting your hull
painted with anti-fouling paint. It's the only real answer.
