Bug residue
Posted: Sat Jun 30, 2018 3:11 pm
Hello,
Our new Manitou is kept on a hoist in Northern Michigan. After one week it was covered with what looked like brown paint ball splatters. It turns out to be residue from some bugs that are about 3/4" long and dark brown or black. I spoke to several other pontoon owners who don't have the problem. My wife and I spent several hours in the water with Fantastic and brushes removing those splatters. They were all over. The bugs were all over the inside of the boat. They also left their mess on the mooring ball that we have as well as the dock pilings and our hoist. Does anyone know what they are and how to prevent them? Thank you.
