My C14 is finally out of the water on a Boater's World $400 trailer. I added a bow roller (the one on the trailer was not far enough forward), and the bunks are not long enough, but I can fix those items. And the trailer lights were not truly submersible -- as soon as we backed the trailer down the ramp the bulbs blew out in the tail lights. I'm thinking that next time, we unplug the trailler lights before we back it down? At any rate, it's a galvanized tilt trailer and the boat's in the garage after 3 years in the water or on the beach.
Now the fun begins. How do you remove black scuff marks from the white fiberglass? The growth on the bottom is tough to get off as well. I'm thinking pressure washer?
At one point while it was moored the boat got bounced under the dock and the fiberglass is chipped down to the wood on the deck just forward of the jib truck. It's about the size of my pinkie finger nail. I've never had a fiberglass boat before so how does one fix that sort of thing?
Lastly, with the mast down I can remove the jib furler. I'd love to wash the sails since the jib has been exposed to the elements for all this time (at least teh outside wrap around the furler. Is there any way to remove it and wash it? How? I don't think a washing machine is the answer (that's a joke!). TIA!
