True, but it's all in concentration. Too much and yes, you will eat through your keelbolts. Just a tiny bit, and you will kill the nasty stuff that grows in there. I once put a chlorine pellet in one of my strainers, and it it ate Holes through the stainless steel strainer . Having said all that, when I first got my 39, I decided to get all of the mildew out of it and took everything out of the boat, nice mixture of Tide, chlorine and ammonia, sprayed it all around, power washed it, rinsed it and sucked it out. If a little bit of cleaner is good, a lot is better right,? I'm lucky to be alive. Little did I know then that ammonia and chlorine creates mustard gas! Live and learn!
