Removing Rust From Your Boat

 

If your stainless steel cleats, stanchions and other topside hardware are rusting and difficult to maintain, use Ajax, Bon Ami, Soft Scrub, Comet, or other such abrasive based cleaner as a polish.
Rinse well and then apply a coat of auto paste wax.

Attack rust stains on your stern drive by brushing on some Naval Jelly. It contains a mild acid, so hose it off quickly.

To help keep rust away from your engine and stern drive in the future, regulary lift the engine box cover and let fresh air circulate

How to Remove Rust:

• First remove surface rust with a wire brush or sandpaper. 
• Next clean the area with a detergent solution to remove any dirt or grease. 
• Next use a rust coating over the area to prevent rust from coming back and to inhibit the rust from spreading. 
• After this is done, depending on the area the rust is in, paint over to match the color of the surrounding area.

If the area is very large or the rust has eaten through multiple parts of the object, it may be better to replace the object.
