Thank you soo much, we have been looking for something like this forever! ❤
Hope it helps you as much as it has helped us !
@@CruisingThisOldBoat me too. We've tried everything and nothing works
@@projecttrawler - let me know how it goes
Step one, change the bracket, step two, clean. 😂
Good plan !
Those ICW cruise liner boats use that, they tie a paint brush to mop handle applied it that way.i saw them do it every time they docked
Interesting - I may try that
I use a product called FSR - fibreglass stain remover on rust spots on my boat. Works well, but the Power one looks equally good. On a side note, I’d be sourcing a stainless replacement for that bracket in a hurry… I’d get tired of cleaning up the rust pretty quickly. 😁
I don’t claim that Power One works better than everything else - just that it works. I haven’t tried everything else. So thanks for the tip on FSR.
I agree with your side note. I have been trying to figure out a solution. I have two problems - 1) the winch mounts from the bottom so you can’t just use a sheet of stainless. 2) I can’t afford to have a bracket fabricated in stainless. I’m open to suggestions from anyone!! 😂😂
I've used On&Off by Mary kate with great results. Makes the rest of the hull look dirty so you've got to clean it all.
That’s always the bad thing about cleaning - that’s why I tell Marie I shouldn’t do it 😉
get you one of those pump up sprayers...thx.
That would make it easier !
low 90s for the next week here at St Augustine, I go on a mooring ball this weekend........hope it's not too hot where you are at, stay cool
We are also in the low 90’s. We have a/c right now because we pulled in to a marina to access West Marine. Hoping to have our solar panels up and running today. We pull out tomorrow so then we will start feeling the heat 😉
@@CruisingThisOldBoat I bought a 3600 watt, 30 amp generator with an RV plug, and an adapter plug to my shore power cable, that was less than 500 bucks and waiting for a 500 watt wind generator, solar was too costly for 500 watts, my 9 amp 10,000 btu air cools off the main cabin really good. I still need to order a bigger water tank
@@krautAmerican - looks like you plan to live in comfort 😉
I just got my 1200 watt solar array working - can’t wait till tomorrow to see what sun does to it 😁

Awesome Product worked very good
I wonder what it would do for a Anchor Chain that looks rusty
That’s a good question - guess I’ll have to try it and find out !
@@CruisingThisOldBoat Shalom
Yes please do try it I'd love to see the Results so would many of us other Cruising Friends
This was a awesome video thank you for doing it
This stuff really brightness up your Yacht I'll have to get me a Gallon of it
I wonder how that affects the wax, or fiberglass? Reminds me of the slow version of the movie Alien!
😂😂
It claims it does not affect fiberglass and I have never noticed anything. I can’t speak to wax as it has probably been 40 years since Elixir saw any wax. 😉
I'm going to have to try some of that.
How did you like Carrabelle?
I really liked Carrabelle - if you were going to live on your boat and stay put, it would be a great town to stay in!
Save money buy M. acid mix with water and save lots of money.
Interesting - I’ll have to try that
I’m guessing the main ingredient is oxalic acid. Buy the powder and mix your own.
I looked all over the bottle to find the main ingredient and couldn’t find any listing of ingredients so I actually don’t know what the main ingredient is. ☹️
@@CruisingThisOldBoat You can get a bag of acid for probably less than you paid for one bottle and make a whole case of them with the powder. You spray it on and the rust will disappear. Works on buildings stained by sprinklers also. Saves a lot of money. You should be able to find several videos here explaining it! Nice boat by the way!
@@tcbink - thanks ! And thanks for the info. I will look for that.
Get the real thing: Muratic acid!
