I recently read a thread where someone asked how to keep the water in the ballast tank from getting too "funky".
In that thread several people (myself included) recommended adding pool shock chemicals to the tank.
Here is my question... if you keep your boat in a slip, and have pool shock chlorine in your ballast tank... do you think it would help to keep bottom growth off of your boat if you left the tank valve open just a little bit when you leave the boat?
Yes! I know! Ethically questionable but... do you think it would work. I'm not really willing to test the idea but I am dreadfully curious.
And of course, you would have to remember to close the tank before going sailing.
