At least until the next time I use the boat.

^^^ +1 - points for MCOCD... don't forget to wax the bilge too..

Ya I'm going to get on that tomorrow. I think I need a combo of every thing that was said to get mine clean... Haha I'll keep ya posted.

If it needs a good scrubbing: on an old boat I used a toilet brush duck taped to a short pole so that I could scrub in places I could not otherwise reach. That boat looked like the PO did not clean the bilge in 15 years.

Combinations work great too. Key is to let it agitate in the bilge.

I have noticed that the center KGB bag is slimy so I would assume using some simple green on it would help. I have a feeing the bilge has never been cleaned.

I dont think the bilge in my last boat had EVER been cleaned out until I had it, made several attempts with all the previous mentioned stuff, decided to try some engine degreaser and it worked like a charm.. tested on a small area first of course then let the foam stay on for 10-15mins before rinsing off..

My bilge smells like someone stuffed a dead hooker down there. Good tip on the Totally Awesome. I'll give that a go.

My 1988 tristar bilge is spotless ,
