Hey all,

I did not read the posts all in depth, so I risk repeating already given info.

I used a heated pressure spray washer the first time. I coupled that with Zep Big Orange, an industrial degreaser we use here at the shop. Good stuff. Melts off the gook.

Then I ground the inside of the hull with the angle grinder to rough up the glass, and should have, did you catch that, should have used Bilgekote from Interlux. I used gelcoat, and it has not stayed white.

I cleaned it up during the repower again, and used the bilgekote, and it is great.
