Spent 5 days in key west,boat stayed in the water like everyone else's.The props and anything stainless have a gray tarnish on them.I m thinking salt deposits?Anyone know how to clean it off/

"Hammerhead" makes an excellent product for use on stainless or aluminum. Even works well on stubborn stains on your fiberglass hull. (but you will have to re-wax) --- Jer

This is very common for Key West. There are a couple different ways to remove the white coating.

The quickest way is to use muriatic acid, just pour it on and rinse if off. You can also use some of those house cleaners like CLR but they work slowly.

lime away, get the same thing at havasu white coating on everything,lime away too it right off

ON/Off is muriatic acid. If your going to use that...go to a harware store & buy a gallon of it. ALOT cheaper. Carefully put it in a spray bottle & try not to breathe in the fumes. Eventually the spray mechanism will deterioate.

i use toilet bowel cleaner...squirt on let sit for few minutes, hose/wipe off, spray with WD and done...i use SNO BOWL
