Used to do this for a living. 5 in 1 scrapers work the best. The curved edge works great on the prop shafts and flat edge for the props. There is also a pointed side that is handy for cleaning barnacles off of the speed wheels. For through holes I always used a long flat blade ground down to dull edges but a long screwdriver should work equally well just be careful. For the hull I've found that floor buffer pads work great. Just cut them up into sections. Be very gentle with ablative bottoms.
