Default Bleach to wash the hull?


"Bryan" wrote in message
om...
I saw my wife grab a bucket and a scrubber and a bottle of bleach to go

wash
our boat. Her thinking was that since we've been on a lake with an algae
problem the bleach would kill any algae that we brought back with us.

I asked her to stick with liquid detergent since I didn't know what bleach
would do to the paint or decals on the boat.

What would have happened if she had used bleach?



I use beach as well at my own peril.

Whenever I do this, the fluid that emerges is milky white.
Im probably beaching the "good stuff" out of the gel coat.
She's nice-n-white when Im done though.

This is a habit I need to correct.
