Default HELP! Brown stains from lake

I left my boat in the lake for a week while my trailer was getting painted and I pulled it out and there are bad brown stains from the lake. I have tried vinager, toilet bowl cleaner, magic eraser, lime away and not having much luck. I am sick to my stomach right now. Please help.

Big thanks in advance

I'm not an expert - you may want to try Iron Out. Make a solution and check a small area and see if it works.

I feel the pain

Some iron out from home depot mixed with about 11/2 gals. of water in a garden sprayer works great. Spray down one side come back and rinse right off.

I swear by mary & kate's on/off bottom cleaner. It's amazing for water marks. No scrubbing. The dark just disappears.

Use hull cleaner. I've used starbrite on mine after being in the TN river for three nights. As soon as ur boat is dry I would immedialty put some wax on it. I would do that with any of the suggestions above. Should come right out.

+1. Use the gel in the yellow and blue bottle. Brush it on with a wide bristle brush, hose it off and you will be as white as snow..
