Hello all. First off I am a bass boat guy and inboard/outboards are out of my wheel house. I am looking at a boat for the family and everything looks good on it but the only thing that concerns me is the boat sat in a slip all last summer and is heavily covered in algae. My question is how on earth do you go about cleaning it? And are there any concerns you would have with purchasing a lower unit in this condition?

Pressure washer for a start.
Algae on the outside doesn't affect it.
My Volvo drive looked like that every year after I pulled it out. I would just clean it.
