I find that if you don't go any farther north than the Magothy and Chester rivers the staining is not as much of a problem. Fairlee creek middle river area is usally a good time though.

Last week I was out of slimey grimey and grabbing at staws I tried som CLR. Much to my suprise it worked as good as slimey grimey. Then after this weekend in the dirty water it suprisingly only has 1/2 the tea line of what it normally would. Never heard clr working before, but it does.

Gripit....Did you apply 2 coats of the Teflon? We did that and have little trouble getting the scumline clean. Soap and water and its gone!!

The scum line is easy to clean but the bottom still turns brown?????

I just tried spray nine on my boat and it did not make any difference, the only thing that i have used that works is on/off for the brown stains.

Try mixing On/OFf 50/50 with water. Its not as toxic and works just as well.

I just used slimy grimy about two weeks and just used Starbrite instant hull cleaner after the Chesapeake, both worked great!!! I had used on/off many times, works great, but hated the fumes. Spray nine I use for the black soot.......
