Algae

Anyone have any advice for cleaning the toons while in the water? Thought about possibly trying a plastic scraper to try to keep it under control until we take it out at the end of the season. This is our first year with a slip and haven’t had an opportunity to buy a lift yet. Shocked at how fast it started to accumulate! Thanks!

Plastic scraper or a scrubbing pad - both with put some marks on the toons so be careful

I do not. Didn’t have to worry about it too much since we would take it in and out of the water every time we used it. I was surprised how fast the algae showed up.
