I have my generator and all the marine plywood removed from the rear 1/2 of the boat right now and I am going to replace the wood with new but want to clean and re-paint the center 36" down the middle where I suspect it won't come clean as new. What is the grey stuff that I need to re-do it. I have searched the net for bilge coatings and only come up with interlux bilge coat. which is just paint and I don't want that.

Under the grey is the "black goo" Marinette and Chris Craft both did it. The thought was to reduce sound. It provides little or no protection.

Most of use are just removing the goo and leaving the alluminum bare. The danger is it takes a solvent to disolve that junk and it can be dangerous. (fumes, fire hazard etc.) It is a really mess to wipe it out. Yuck!

I agree! Clean it up as good as possible and leave it bare aluminum. The goo was used as a sound deadening coating. Kinda like the old Ziebart under coatings of yesterday's.

Did they paint over the black goo with with the silver stuff I am seeing ?? Mine is just ever so slightly dirty. I am planning to get in there with a shop vac for the dirt and wood splinters and then some detergent one evening and anticipated it needing touched up a little when I was done to look as good as I want. I am making all new marine ply walk boards from the ewngine forward bulkhead to the transom while I am at it and was planning on painting the topsides of them with Interlux bilge coat.

I can imagine the mess in trying to clean it all away. I would maybe be willing to take that on in the engine compartment when the motors are out in the future, it would be neat to look in there and see all clean aluminum.

If you can manage to clean the silver paint and pitch from the hull the Interlux Bilge Coat does work well.
The bilge coat wont adhere to any of the pitch residue. The goo will soften and bleed through.

Also need to etch the Aluminum if you choose to paint. That Interlux etch will make you sterile so make sure you have plenty of fans and doors/windows open.

I used all kinds of thinner and gas to clean that damn tar/pitch. Scraping and filling grocery bags with that crap. Ruined my back for few days but with that Bilge Coat the surface is like an epoxy gloss which, is very easy to keep clean.

Or just leave it bare AL.

If I had my way I'd pull the engines and fuel tanks and blast the engineroom clean, etch everything and spray a few layers of that Bilge Coat. And then drop in a set of Diesels with IPS drives.....There I go, daydreaming again.

I am really just trying to identify the silver topcoat as my goo is still solid and not actually turned to goo, I just want to pretty it up a little.

To me it looked like they sprayed the black tar stuff along with the rest of the interior so any paint you would use on the inside should work as well as anything. The silver color maybe the interaction between the white paint and the black goo.

Members have reported over the years that the silver stuff is the same material used to overcoat roof tar. If you want to use the same stuff, check with a roofing supply company

I just came back from Lowes, they have it. I looked on line and the common brand is silver dollar and they make it with and without fiber filler, Lowes only has the with fiber type. I'll look it over when I get it clean and decide what is best for my situation. It may clean up nice enough to not want to add anything else in there.

If you are doing any welding in the area of "black goo", remember to clean it off for a good distance since it will screw up the aluminum.

You may want to also take into consideration the flammibility factor. If this is the same stuff that was applied to mobile home roofs years ago, it retained a degree of flammibility. That would make welding in the bilge a bit touchy.

No welding need at this point but I may have an item or two in the future plan that will require it.
