Default Bilge clean

Yikes. After the last ride I pulled the plug and out came some crap I dont know where originated.

So i sprayed the hose up into the drain several times until the water started to come out clean. I then shot a bunch of simple green around the motor (sprayed it down with the hose) and back up the drain and took it for a ride.

Much better.

    Pouring a little "Simple Green" in the bilge and a little water, then go out on the water for the day and when you return to the dock and trailer the boat, then you pull the plug to drain the water, the bilge should be really clean. It works for me.
