Bilge Cleaners, What works?
I serviced my bilge pump over the weekend and found a lot of sludge that was like oil. I thought the mechanic that installed the pump 4 years ago would have said how bad it was when he put in the pump. Anyway I found all sorts of goodies, fishing lures, hardware, electrical tape and god knows what in lumps of black goo. I got out all I could but there is still some residue of the black stuff. I am sure it's made up of diesel fuel saltwater and water from the ice box.
Do these Bilge Cleaners that they sell over the counter really work? They say to pour them in and let them slosh around while underway and they will keep it nice and sweet smelling. True?
