    My bilge

    What is the best way to rinse and clean your bilge in your boat. I would like a cleaner that I can clean the bilge, and flush your bilge pumps in the process.

    Drop a bar of soap back there and it will stay clean. Whenyour bilge pumps kick on it the rain it does look a little strange.

    I've heard that is a good idea, but what about soap scum?

    I use Castrol de-greaser spray it down in there and let it set up for a bit then hose it down. Let it dry, put in the drain plug and repeat pump it out with your bilge pumps.
