Does anyone have a suggestion on how to remove rust stains that have drips from my horn that needs replacing?
Thanks in advance

Re: Removing Rust Stains
Are they on the fiberglass? If so then FSR or "On/Off" should remove them. Just be careful, both products are fairly powerful acids and WILL bleach your clothes!

Both products are available at West Marine. The FSR is a gel and works better if you have a small area, I use On/Off to remove waterline stains on the hull.

Flitz works really well also. On any surface.

A friend of mine that owns a marina uses Whink. It's cheap and you can get it at Lowes. It's worked great for me.

Muriatic acid, 50%. Rinse thoroughly. Cheap & effective. Works well on that brown stain that forms just above the waterline at the bow too.
