We've had an especially damp Spring. our boat, hull No. 9510, is kept on a hoist but some mildew has appeared on the hull lately.
Anybody have a suggestion for something to remove the mildew?
Thanks

Jomax, available at wallyworld, works great. I would suggest that you reduce the bleach content in their mix by 1/2. Put it in a pump sprayer, wet the surgface with water, spray jomax on, wait five min, and hose off. Stubborn areas around the rub rail may require a brush.
