    The bilge goes dry. De-stinking?

    While the ol' girl in on the hard, I'm having a decent list of items completed. One is installing dripless shaft seals.

    There's been water in this bilge since 1985. The first thing I'll do after bringing her home will be to vacuum the water out and let it dry. So, it'll be a priority to clean the formerly wet and damp areas of the bilge with some sort of sweet smelling cleaner before painting it all down there. Maybe I should dump a gallon of something in there before the ride home?

    I don't know what I'd use other than my old Formula 88 degreaser which I use for everything. Any tips for a newly dry bilge and a sweeter smelling boat??
