Hi, just wanted to introduce myself. I'm new to this forum and I'm
somewhat of a boat newbie and I have some questions. Firstly, do y'all
wax the bottom of your boat? I have a fiberglass boat and am noticing
some algae on the bottom.

On my boats, I personally never have, but can't see any advantage too,
anything wrong with it. The algae isn't anything that a power washer
and bleach can't cure, though.

Oxalic acid (sp?) works too and is preffered by some professionals.

Here's a simple link to cleaning the stuff off.

Hope this helps and good luck,.
