Battle of the Bilge (Yuk!) | SV Ramble On

   • Bilge Warriors | Cleaning Our Oily Bilge  

A job we've been dreading!

In this video we tackle the task of removing the bilge pumps to reveal the hidden areas beneath! After some hard and oily work, we finally get a glimpse of the top of our holding tank and the deep bilge. However, the remnants of the old engine has left its mark, and the bilge is black with oily water.

First we pump out the oily water and use a Zep degreaser, ensuring the bilge is clean and ready for a fresh start. To give it a clean and polished look, we then apply TotalBoat Total Bilge paint to both the bilge and the area under the engine.

What a difference a coat of paint makes! It breathes new life to our boat's engine compartment. Hit the like button, subscribe, and join us as we continue to upgrade and enhance our beloved boat! 🚤⚓️

I’m Jeni and he’s Rich. We’re really just a couple of average Joes. In a nutshell we met and married in our early 20s; I graduated from college in my late 20s; adopted two cats and a dog in the late 90s; sold a house and bought a new house in our mid 30s; then sold the new house and moved onto a sailboat in our early 40s. In between all that we had a bunch of fun like camping, scuba diving, watching hockey games (Go Red Wings!), concerts, traveling, spear fishing, restoring a 1963 Chevy II Nova; spending time with family and friends. A few years ago we decided to lay off all the fun-having to fix up this old boat. We figure if we put our noses to the grindstone for a few years, we’ll be able to travel for a few years and do all the fun things we’ve missed.
