If you don't have access to oxalic acid, use Barkeeper's Friend. About $5,
in a cardboard cylinder package; I bought it in the cleanser section at
Wal-Mart. Wipe on with a damp rag and rinse off - no scrubbing!

William, I brought the boat home today to start cleaning her up for vacation
and raise the waterline (bottompaint). I used the Barkeepers Friend to
clean the scumline as you suggested and it worked wonderfully! Thanks for
the heads up.

I will not try to fix the epoxy barrier coat coverage but I will be
raising the bottom paint line when I put the boat on the trailer (in
preparation for our vacation on Put-In-Bay) next week.

So how do you remove the scum line? I have brushed it off every time
I
have been in the water and washing down the boat and outdrive, but a
scum
line remains.

TIA!


Hang out with a better crowd!

Not possible. ;-)



A mixture of oxalic acid and a mild scrub brush will do it.
Wear goggles.

OK. John recommended the same thing. Thanks!


You're quite welcome!
