So I used toilet bowl cleaner to take off the stain on my white boat. When the stain was gone I sprayed a little water on the hull with a spray bottle. So my question is that enough to take the bleach off of the boat so it won't harm it?

I have to think that there would be a cleaner that would be less caustic than toilet bowl cleaner to clean a boat.
Soft Scrub will take the stain off the hull.

Did you use hydrochloric or phosphoric acid based bowl cleaner? Either way you should rinse it very well.
I would flush the heck out of it with the hose after bowl cleaner.
If you’re fishing the Ohio River I strongly recommend liberal doses of Bass Boat Saver before and after (like at the ramp before the boat drys on the drive home) you run the boat in that river. It forms a nice slick coating that helps get that nasty water line off the boat.
Use to flush my motor with SaniVac after saltwater use back in the day.
Tilex soap and scum remover works great...

That’s a $hitty cleaner for a boat.
I’ve used it, with good results. Rinse it thoroughly with a hose.

Starbrite Instant Hull Cleaner is the best I have ever used. But you have to come behind it with a hose and rinse everything very thoroughly--especially the trailer/anything iron. Most of these types of cleaners are acidic and are fine on gelcoat as long as you really rinse them off well. I go as far as rewashing the boat when I am done. I am always shocked at how much whiter my white boat is after I use Starbrite. I buy it at Academy here in Texas, but I believe I have seen it at WalMart too.

Dollar General TB cleaner, deck cleaning brush and rinse. Tannic water stains from gulf waters comes right off. Mold and Mildew remover works well too.
Any of the toilet bowl cleaners are a diluted Muriatic Acid ( Hydrochloric acid ).
They are diluted in the cleaner to about around 9 % strength.
They will take stains out of gelcoat, especially white gel. Won't harm the gelcoat if used as a spray on, wiped down and and hose off. Don't spray it on and let it sit there for a long time.
Commercial hull cleaners like Star Brite are about the same strength of Oxalic Acid, which is a weaker version than Muriatic.
Cover your wheels and trailer when using either of them.
I used this on some stains on my white hull that TB cleaner wouldn't remove. Works GREAT but always make sure you rinse the heck out of it as mentioned. Used rubber kitchen gloves when doing the scrubbing.
