anyone used lemon juice and a pump sprayer?

I use about a cup of lemon juice per gallon of water and spray the hull when I take the boat out of the water. I wipe it down with a damp towel with good results.

blower parts

Ask around: a specialty machine shop can make them for you and maybe a few extra to sell down the road to recover your cost. Originally they were probably made by a job shop.
