Does anyone have any good suggestions for how to minimize algae and barnacles on an aluminum boat that will be moored over the summer?
Each year my boat sits in a slip from mid June to early September. When I pull it it has 8-10" of algae and several barnacles. I hit it with a stiff broom brush every couple weeks, but it only takes care of the crap near the water line.
Was hoping someone had some tips on waxes or coatings I could apply beforehand to stem the tide a bit. Perhaps a good coat of carnuba or something would help?
I've considered bottom paint but not sure it is the best option, especially since I fish year round and trailer the boat a lot which would damage the coating near the bunks.
Thx,
Barry
