We left it in the water (fresh) over the weekend and it came out with a scummy bottom which doesn't wash off with just elbow grease and soapy water. Any ideas? Someone told us softscrub but I fear it could be too abrasive. Thanks for your help!!

Softscrub is good, I've used it before on my boat. Simple Green is another good product to try. Either of those will probably take the protective finish off so apply a good quality automotive type wax to the Gel coat when you're done (NuFinish works great - it's easy to apply and comes off with little effort too, even in the sun). The next time you leave it in the water, the scum should come off easier.

Softscrub is powerful, i've got used it earlier on my boat. ordinary eco-friendly is yet another reliable product to attempt. the two of those will probable take the preserving end off so prepare a reliable high quality vehicle sort wax to the Gel coat once you're completed (NuFinish works super - it is consumer-friendly to prepare and is derived off with little attempt too, even interior the sunlight). the subsequent time you bypass away it interior the water, the scum ought to come off extra ordinary.

Yep, MaryKate On&Off. Put a small amount on a clean rag, and wear gloves. It WILL burn you. If you have algae stains, put a little sand on your rag and rub the On&Off on the stain. It will polish it right off. We use it all the time here at the boatyard.

Try soft scrub any way, in a small inconspicuous area.
