I had a mishap with fixing the head on my ‘78 Hunter 28.5, where I removed the drain hose and had some of the backwash from the black water tank run onto the floor and down into the stringers under the boat. I think I got most of it cleaned up, but I’m wondering about cleaning up the leftover waste that may have gone down into the stringers, leaving An odor.
It was suggested that I use a bio detergent (which in all honesty I’m not sure what that is), but I was wondering if I could use a small amount of bleach to clean up that area. Perhaps pour a few ounces down the holes, go for a sail, and then suck it out with a small hose attached to a wet and dry vacuum.
can I trust that the bleach won’t harm the fiberglass Under the stringers?
