3m wax - when I pull my out of the water I just towel it down and the scum line comes off
This! The gelcoat become much more resistant to absorbing stains once a good couple of coats of wax are applied.
3M polish will get most stains out with a little elbow grease...just make sure to follow it with some decent wax.
How about that magic eraser? I've read that it will require some polish anyway to even out the coloring. Some have claimed it did some damage to the gel coat...I'm not certain about it either way.

I've put my sailboat in some nasty harbors all over the word and nothing beats a good PTEF wax.
You have to put 3 or 4 coats on at least once a year, probably should use the acid wash stuff right before that.
If you wax it well then when you pull out the boat immediately rinse it off, maybe grab a bucket and scrub the stubborn spots with some dawn right there.
If the brown scum crap dries on then sits in the sun it is hell getting off fiberglass.
