[Public-List] Bilge pumping using the auxillary engine

[C.B. Currier]

You know if you are concerned about bilge trash in this circumstance I
suggest
shop-vacing the bilge & power washing it out. That will
help to some extent as the boats have in most cases gathered quite a
collection of debris below the floorboards.

Daybreak #458 - Which needs a good bilge
cleaning.
