My bilge is very clean from day one, i want to keep it that way,
what's a good bilge cleaner? and how do you clean it?
some bilge cleaners i read about want you to pour it in the bilge then let it sloush around will under way
then what??? mop it out???:huh::huh:
 
Bill, I throw about a cup of Dawn dish soap with 5gals of water in mine and then go for a wild ride. :smt001

Then I take the shore water hose to the bilge and let the bilge pumps pump it out. :thumbsup:

Hi Wayne
Happy memorial day to ya.....:thumbsup:

Don't the bilge pumps turn on with the 5 gallons???
And you only wash with fresh water on the bottom,not going near anywhere near the electrical i assume...Im sure dawn is environmentally safe...
 
I can shut both bilge pumps off manually. Yes & Yes. :smt001

After sucking up the little bit of dirty sea water from my bilge and making her pristine, i found this in the water recovery tank that was sucked up near the bilge pump.

Bill, That's Pat's rubber knuckles instead of brass knuckles so she doesn't hurt you too bad. :smt043
