Jim, When I purchased my boat, the previous owner left a home made mast cruch (steel) sit in a wet cockpit for a season or two.? Needless to say the rust stains?were?large and deep.? It?took me over a month to finally remove them.? I used CLR everyday and a stiff bristle brush.??I would pour a little on the rust spot and let it sit overnight.? In the morning I would add a little more CLR and scrub.? I would then add a little more CLR and let it sit all day.? In the evening, I would add a little more CLR and srub.? I did this for a month and eventually the rust stains were removed, but I still have a little shadowing from?the deepest stains.? All in all it worked well........slow but steady.
