I wanted to see what cleaner is available that I could spray into the bilge area, maybe agitate with a brush as best I can, the just hose off to the bilge pump. I have a lot of baking soda that has found its way down there after we soda blasted the hull last year. Does anyone have any recommendations?
Thanks!!

First off are U on the hard or in the water ? Next the baking soda is not a bad thing if there’s any bilge odor it should have helped eliminate it. The bad side of it is it won’t do your bilge pumps much good by pump washed down residue of baking soda thru them.Anxious So if you are on the hard wash down with a fresh water hose the best you can with both fore and aft drain plugs remove. If you in the creek already with bilge plug in first shut off the auto bilge switch to manual, pour in any good bilge cleaner to label recommendations add about a 1/4 cup of dish soap, fill the bilge with fresh clean water.Close the hatch have a few cool brewski’s on ice take her out for a cruise trying to rock and roll her pretty good to slush the cleaner & soap around while cruising and having a cool brewski when you think there has been enough cleaning & U had your fill or brewski’s Think turn bilge switch to auto & head her to port after U R tied up fill bilge once again with just fresh clean water for a rinse turn the bilge back on. That should take care of it. AnyWho good Ruck matey.Dancing

 You'll have bad times, but they'll just wake you up to the good times you weren't paying attention to

Some people try to turn back their odometers.Not me, I want people to know "why" I look this way.I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved.
