Default Re: Water Stains

If you are talking about the brown stains you get from sitting in the water a few days I found a cheap solution. I got tired of buying bottles of the cleaner for about $12.00 or so and noticed the active ingredient in one of them was oxalyic acid, the same as in barkeepers friend. I took about 1/4 of a can of BK and mixed well with about 2 gals. of water and used a garden sprayer and sprayed the entire bottom in short order. I let it sit about 2-3 minutes and washed if off with water. My hull was very stained as I had left it in the water for 7 days while on vacation. Never again do I plan on using the expensive stuff as the BK worked great.
