Bilge Cleaner

Post by Serenity »

I was doing my manly chores, shopping for stuff that I don't need in Target and I came across the detergent aisle. I purchased a bag Tide PODS. Their great, throw them in the bilge, bio degradable and they dissolve. Also, if you need a detergent at a marina that has a laundry facility, you are in luck.

Rob, when I go down to the boat this afternoon I will pick up a 5 gallon bucket of Great South Bay silt and dump it in your bilge. It will be a good test for the Tide pods or your wet/vac. Enjoy the fourth with your Chris. :lol:
