Default keeping bottoms clean, my hoist wont work at the marina

so i have a hydrolift boat hoist that floats. It wont work at my marina cause it needs to attached to a dock on both sides. Will a bubbler keep my bottom clean? also anyone interested or know anyone who wants a lift? 16,000-18,000lbs 40ft

Hydohoist? I might be. Why won't they let you attach it? My buddy just installed one in our marina under the covered wells. They still have spots open...

I'd pull the boat scrub and/or acid wash the bottom and fill the gas tank and be back in the water in a couple hours. Usually would do it on a Monday or Tue. evening when the marina wasn't busy and after rush hour.

You're gonna have to pull the boat and clean it every couple weeks. I had mine in for a little less than two weeks so far this year while setting up my hoist, there is not growth but a slight stain. Don't forget the bug spray when under there cleaning. I got eat'n alive last year scrubbing. Hurry up and get that thing in the water. Are you going in this weekend?
