Peggie, I posted this yesterday, but it seems to have disappeared into cyber never-never land, so please excuse me if it shows up in duplicate, What's the best way to clean the bilge. Most of the cleaners direct you to add it to the bilge water and let it slop around there, but most of the bilge is dry, so that won't work. Does it make sense to spray a cleaner solution into all the nooks and cranies (many not too accessable) with a garden pump sprayer and then rinse it with a hose. Eventually I guess it waii all find its way to the miniscule wet bilge. Maybe there's a better way??? As usual, many thanks for your excellent advice.
