Question about VISITOR'S GUIDE ?

There are a couple ways to do it and it depends on where you are. If you haven't pulled the boat in over a year, that mean 1) you live in a warm area and 2) the hulls is going to be dirty. If it is warm and in relatively clean water, dive on the boat and scrub it by hand with a brush. Otherwise, you need to take a long handle scrubber and do it while standing on the deck of the boat. If you are near a dock, have another person pull the boat on its side by pulling a line attached to the mast, while you scrub the exposed part of the hull. I think there are commercial hulls cleaners too.

Looking for an electric motor to power a fishing anchor?

its simple. all you need are some crew members or something heavy to cause the boat to go to one side while you clean the water, and a mop (which is harder than nessary) or i think West Marine sells buffers that you can clean it with.

I have cleaned hulls in water before. I will assume you have a fiberglass hull.
Tools that work great are an acrylic ice scraper, the clear plastic really stiff ones with a good edge. A nylon bristle scrub brush if the slime isn't too bad. A scotchbright pad.
Mask snorkel and fins. Hope you can hold your breath for awhile. Scuba if you have it.
Keep the ice scraper edge flat to the hull or you will scratch the glass.
Metal scrapers loose their edge easy in water. I had to sharpen my dive knifes after every dive.

take off all Gold and shiny jewelry, If you clean the hull in a tropical area, and are under the hull, keep in mind that "Barracuda" love to attack just after the "Glimmer" of shiny things catches their eye.
