Give it a high-pressure spray down before stowing your 'toon for the winter.
Exposed to the air, the crud on your tubes turns tough real fast. here
This is about the time of year when ‘tooner’s who live north of the Mason-Dixon Line put their boats to bed for the winter. If the boat has been kept in the water for the season, at a dock, mooring or on a stake, chances are the logs have accumulated a layer of algae below the waterline. Anyone who has pulled their pontoon after a season afloat and allowed that mud-infused slime to dry has experienced how exposure to the air turns the crud to concrete – and how hard it is to remove once it’s been allowed to set-up.
Use CLR ® Mold & Mildew Clear —A safer and more effective cleaner than bleach, you can use it after every outing on your vinyl and fabric surfaces. The foam sprayer was designed to give you a more direct application preventing splash back as well as mold spores from spreading in the air—just spray and wipe. more
Cleaning and maintaining pontoon boats can be tricky. Moisture, plus time sitting in storage can cause mold, rust, and calcium to build up on the many surfaces of a Pontoon boat. Fortunately, CLR has safe and effective cleaning solutions that can restore your entire pleasure craft to almost new condition.

Counting all the a$holes in the room Well I'm definitely not alone
Aluminum pontoons look great when a pontoon boat is fresh from the dealer, but that beautiful reflective shine will fade after a while. Bare aluminum is subject to surface oxidation, and it can be discolored by prolonged exposure to a variety of minerals, organisms, and chemicals in the water. By adopting a strategy of regular cleaning during the boating season, you can keep oxidation and discoloration at bay and keep your pontoons looking great.
It can take days, weeks or months before discoloration becomes noticeable, depending on the body of water your boat is in. Regularly inspecting your pontoons and cleaning them as soon as they begin to lose their shine is much easier than restoring them after they have become badly oxidized or discolored. more
If your boat is relatively new or doesn’t spent much time in the water, this step can be as simple as a quick rinse by hand with a bucket and sponge, or with a hose or power washer. If you’re diligent about keeping the pontoons clean, this step is quick and easy. However, if there is visible, significant build-up on the aluminum, you will need to apply a cleaner. [links]
