How to Remove Odor From a Boat Bilge Compartment
Saturday, October 10th, 2009
The primary purpose of your boat’s bilge is to collect water inside the hull of your boat and isolate it until it can be pumped out. Odors in the bilge frequently result from the presence of mold, mildew, organic slime or sludge and indicate that the bilge needs to be cleaned. Modern bilge cleaners are biodegradable and oil-emulsifying; they break down the fuel, oil, mold, slime and sludge that cause bilge compartment odors, trapping them with a chemical emulsifier so that they may be pumped out of the bilge with the bilge water.
