Hello, I've had my '07 outback V in my wet slip for about 2 weeks now. But, there's this yellow film appearing all around the water line of the boat.
It's everywhere, and ugly. Not sure what it is, though I do know a friend of mine had an issue with blistering on the bottom of his boat a couple years ago.
I read in the owners manual that you should paint the bottom of the boat with interlux products to prevent staining and blistering; though I thought you only do that in salt water environments (My boat is moored on Lake sammamish which is fresh water).
I plan on taking the boat out about once a month to scrub it down with some boat soap & a brush. Does anyone have any suggestions on products I can use to either protect the boat, clean it easier, etc?
I've seen some hull cleaners at West Marine but they take off wax and such. Should I just use regular soap and not a hull cleaner? Also, should I re-wax after each wash?
Thanks for any advice :)
