Consider this. The issue here is not chlorine gas in the bilge somehow reacting with diesel fuel and causing an explosion. The "chlorine pellets" are not chlorine gas, but likely contain sodium

Does anyone relise how explosive chlorine and diesel is?

Trevor, SEAFEVER OF CUAN Thanks for the info on the chlorine tablets. Clearly they do not appear to harm the pump diaphragms or hoses so i will get some tablets now. (

Hi all: I have never experienced this issue but then I only get to be on my boat for about three weeks at a time. I do use some bilge cleaner in my bilge about once a week while aboard. Please keep

This is the most useful piece of information I've seen in here for a while. It has provided me with and instant solution to a problem I've been unable to properly overcome since purchasing my SM2

Hi Gary, just chuck a couple in the bilge every two or three weeks when living on board and I always throw in three or four before I leave the boat for a while. I have no idea of brand, but

Trevor, Where do you put the chlorine tablets? In the bulge? Second,where did you get the chlorine tablets (vendor,size, type, etc.?)? Thanks, Gary Wollenberg AMEL 54 "Bozo Cinq"

I spent some time in the "large and very nice yacht" business. With that point of view, what Amel does with gray water is quite normal unless you have the option of a treatment system. Another point

Thanks that was a great way to put it. We had never heard the HAIR story before. Thanks. Richard SM209 Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T

Hello Tom I recently heard of a solution for getting rid of scrathes on Plexiglass and that is to use Brasso metal polish.There are polishing compounds on sale for the purpose, but I hear it

Hi All, We have a 1982 vintage Mango wich had the same system. I'm quite surprised to find out that such a prestigious yacht as the Super Maramu still uses this system. The previous owner of our
