Man.. I thought it would be easy to clean to bilge not having an engine in there... 6 hours later... Its a labor of love no doubt. Happy to be able to replace the bilge pumps, blowers, going to remove the Y in the exhaust and get a block off plate. Gonna be a new boat before to long! That is for another day.

What did you use to clean the bilge? It looks good from the picture. I am having the same issues with cleaning. There is some yellowing from the previous owner that I cannot get out. A few years back I had some blue shop towels that got wet and left a residue behind. I have gotten all the transom assemblies, rigging, power steering hoses re-routed and minor stuff done. Going to dunk the boat tied down to the trailer next week to check for leaks before engines go back in. But that spotted bilge is driving me nuts. I even thought about just re-painting the bilge floor.

This project went from "just a top end refresh" to well... while the engine is out, might as well...
