LAST WEEKEND I HAD A SEAL GO OUT IN MY STARBARD DRIVE AND IT LEAKED DRIVE OIL OUT , LUCKLY IT DID NOT DO ANY DAMAGE TO THE DRIVE, AND LAST NIGHT MY MECHANIC TOOK OFF THE DRIVE AND REPLACED THE SEAL SO I WILL BE BACK IN THE WATER THIS WEEKEND FOR A TEST RUN, BEFORE THE CRAWFISH BOIL NEXT WEEKEND. THANK GOD FOR HAVING A GOOD MARINE MECHANIC THAT’S ON CALL FOR ME 24-7!!

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO CLEAN OUT DRIVE OIL FROM YOUR BILGE, SOMEONE TOLD ME DAWN DISH WASHING LIQUID OR ANY OTHER IDEAS?

I’ve heard Dawn will do the trick.  But I think Whisk laundry detergent is better.  I’ve tried it a couple of times and it worked wonders.
