The process is designed to kill them, not get them off of the boat. As long as they're dead removing them isn't important unless you've managed to end up with a boat that looks like what's shown at :30.
@@oscaramador4200 I don't really know how long, but it sure doesn't happen when you just leave it in the water for a week. They can get sucked into the motor and end up in the bilge when you're actually boating, but moving (faster is better) is a good way to keep them from attaching to the hull. AFAIK they won't cause structural damage to a hull, but they can damage the finish. They can definitely damage motors (and pumps and plumbing).
@Superduper DavidMiorgan these are mussels, not muscles. And hep C doesn't come from either you idiot. Eating raw shellfish can increase your risk of hep A.

I'm an ocean guy and have never left a boat in fresh water for any period of time. Are they talking about a cleaning to remove the microscopic version of Mussels?
