Cap't John's Boat Brite Algae & Waterline Stain Remover
I work in a marina, and when we haul boats, after pressure washing there is always the 'scum line' along the waterline as well as rust stains from drain holes and the infamous Pamlico Smile (some call it the Chesapeake Smile). Up until recently we used Y-10 or On and Off. Both are very caustic, we would suit up and wear gloves and go around painting the stuff on, wait for the scum to disappear and then hose it off. Sometimes we would have to repeat the application. It could take up to an hour on a really stained boat (that includes suiting up, trip to the stock room, getting hose out, etc. etc.).
About a year ago we started using Cap't John's Boat Brite Algae & Waterline Stain Remover. What a difference! Walk around the boat and spray - wait about 5 seconds and hose it off. (Always keeping upwind of the spray so it doesn't blow back in your eyes.) 40 foot boat in about 10 minutes!
The label claims it meets EPA National Clean Marina Guidelines. It says non-toxic and no harsh chemicals. I don't know what's in it but whatever it is, it works well.
