HOW TO CLEAN A BOAT'S BILGE IN 7 STEPS | BOATS.NET
From boats.net Estimated Reading Time 3 mins
Get a Biodegradable Bilge Cleaner. Choose biodegradable bilge cleaners, since they don’t leave long-lasting deposits on your boat and won’t harm the ecosystem if you spill any in the water.
Let the Bilge Cleaner Do Its Thing. Open the boat’s bilge area and apply bilge cleaner to every surface. If necessary, add a small amount of water to the cleaner so it flows into every nook and cranny.
Get to Scrubbing. After the bilge cleaner has fully soaked into the various stains and accumulated grime, it’s time to get scrubbing.
Rinse it Off. Rinse the bilge using as little water as possible: the less water, the better. Use enough water to sluice the bilge cleaner and the dirt and debris down to the bottom of the bilge.
Carefully Dispose of the Bilge Water. There will likely be traces of oil in the dirty bilge cleaner/rinse water. However, keep in mind that it’s a federal offense to discharge oil into the water surrounding a boat.
Clean Up Oil Spills. If you spill any oil into the surrounding water, clean it up immediately. Use an oil spill kit or absorbent pads to remove the oil from the water.
Prevent the Bilge from Getting Dirty. It’s impossible to keep your bilge completely clean all the time, but you can minimize the amount of oil and chemicals that get into it.
