swing keel stuck

Muratic acid should dissolve the rust and won't hurt the gel coat. In fact boatyards use it to clean hulls. Most auto supplies and paint stores have it. Be CAREFUL! I usualy put it, straight, into a spray bottle. It just takes a few seconds to remove crud and rust from the hull, deck, etc. Probably a little longer for your application. Note that it will instantly SMOKE when you spray it in. Only do this if you're sure you can rinse everything thoroughly with no proplem. Rick Vinegar might work as well with far less danger for you and the environment but slower. Classic Coca-Cola also... it used to contain small quantities of sulphuric acid and old-times mechanics would use it for frozen engines. Daniel |
