I only used it once, strictly on the hull from the water line and below after keeping my boat in the water for the entire season one year, so I'm not sure what long term effects it would have on the gel coat, but I'm sure like anything else, you can always "google" it. Other than that one season I had a slip, I have always trailered my boat, (and will continue to do so) because I can't stand seeing my nice clean white hull look like it's been bottom painted with the ugliest shade of brown you have ever seen, and I don't want to be pressure washing my hull every Oct/Nov freezing my a** off!! I realize that trailering and/or keeping your boat in the water is a whole other debate... pros and cons to everything.
