Very thin piece of lathe or other stick/rod with a very flexible, long piece of putty knife or other blade attached to it.
Fresh barnacles squirt clorox in there to kill them and they'll release easier.
I've tried squirting bottom paint in there, but too thick to work, so I used a chip brush on a stick and some angled shims to hold the fairing out on both sides of the brush while I cram it in there. I used my old mast shims. Same technique with putty knife for scraping. I got it all.
But my skeg is foamed and sealed except for enough space at the top to drop the pintle plate out. Otherwise you have a living ecosystem in there. I hauled a boat once here in St. Thomas that we picked a dozen baby lobsters off the growth.
