Boat wash (with another boat question)

[JaredPointer]

I know we've got some boat guys who visit (or used to, anyway). You guys got any recommendations for a strong boat wash? Mine's been covered since last September, and I want some kind of wash to try and knock some of the crud, mildew, etc off without a whole lot of elbow grease.

I'm also taking it tomorrow to have the auto-oiler blocked off. I'll have to mix it manually, but I'll have the peace of mind that I know it's getting oiled instead of it locking up on me going down the river. Anyone got any horror stories in that regard?

I used Crud Cutter last year on a bass boat that had been docked in a lake for almost a year and was green from the water line down. Its actually a house wash but it worked really well. The guy brought it out to me and said it might work..it was his boat so I figured what the hell. I was impressed with how easy everything came off. I think Lowes or Home Depot carries it but I don't know how much it is.

Krudcutter can also be found at walmart in the paint section.
Roll Off works good on boats. Dilute it 50/50 it doesnt need to be used full strength.

I second the Amazing Roll Off, haven't used Krudcutter.
Is the engine an OMC (Evinrude/Johnson)? If it's an older one that uses the pulse type oiler as opposed to a gear driven pump, pre mix is the only way to go. During my many years in the marine industry I saw literally hundreds of those spit pistons. I thought you bought a Merc though? HMMM, don't really remember.

ever thought of washing your boat with some of your Bug Squash

[JaredPointer]

Well, just to update everyone, I did get her all cleaned up using regular ole Spray & Wipe. Turns out whatever I used for protection last year did a really good job of allowing me to just wipe it clean.

And yes - it's a Merc. I went ahead and had the oiler taken off and did my own premix starting with this fill up. It's amazing the peace of mind I had not having to worry about the yellow light flashing when I'm miles away from the ramp.

And, if anyone is interested, we did well fishing yesterday. The fish are definitely biting.

looks like he is on land and stepping on the fish.. ima call eating them

[JaredPointer]

I'm a catch and release guy - no one in my family will eat fish with me. Lot of hassle to go through just to grill them up for myself. Now if I wanted to grill some fish, I'd go out and catch me some crappie in the early spring or some catfish. That's good eating.
