I misjudged the waterline on my boat when I applied the epoxy barrier and
bottom paint.

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!

Thank you John! I will give it a try.

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!

JimH,

Scum Line Remover (Oxalic acid)

Did you decide to change mechanics? One who forgets to change the
impeller when asks and uses incorrect parts is an even more very
expensive "accident" just around the corner.

There is an old expression "Fool me once, shame on you, Fool me twice,
shame on me".

How many times do I have to tell you the he did not *forget* to change
the impeller.

Why are you so obsessed with this, especially bringing it up in a
totally unrelated thread?

But do you think that mechanic is a good one? After all, you did ask
him to change it, and they didn't. After that, it failed, causing you
engine to overheat. Overheating an engine is never, ever good for it.
