	Hummm.... a sandblaster works well! and a disk sander with 40 grit does wonders too! You might also ask TBDW for hints on carefully removing stains with a chainsaw... on the serious side, try Simple Green. It works well.

	Bruce, I buy it by the gallon at Hammer Hardware in Nashua. Works great for the scum line. keith

	Hey Bruce, I never heard of Simple Green but low and behold I found it in the soap section of my grocery store (Alexanders) in Manchester, N.H.. Came in a quart bottle with sprayer, cost $1.99. Check stores down your way. Regards, John.

	I tend to spend lots of time with my outboard idling, and that creates a heavy scum on the lower unit as well as on the boat transom. The absolute best stuff I've found is Wesley's Bleche-White car whitewall tire cleaner! Spray it on, grab a damp sponge and wipe it off. I used to use some pretty rough scouring techniques, and I used to cringe at the thought of what I was doing to the gelcoat and the paint on the engine. This stuff works like magic. Should work on your aluminum boat, too. Art
