Best way to clean inside of hull/engine?

[FLY6584]

So the guy before me must have used WD-40 or way too much corrosion block/silicon when spraying the engine down because I have a heavy coating of it all over my engine and hull. It's great as far protecting the engine, but as everyone knows it attracts dirt and ends up looking like sh*t.

Personally I think it's better to put a light coating on more often then a very thick coating on every once in a while.

Anyways is there some sort of degreaser I can spray on the engine and hull that will clean up everything very nicely. I want to get all of the old crap off and start over with some better corrosion spray and not lay it on so thick.

Thanks:biggthumpup:

simply green would prob work. if you can still find some super clean from castrol that is full strength thats the shiz.

I buy "Purple Power" by the 5 gallon jug every couple years and water it down. I also pull my motor every winter to clean the hull out and give it all the once over, best time to clean everything. I will admit some people (scorn800) find great joy in making fun of how much i clean things.

On couches that have seen better days inside the hull I've used a cup'o laundry detergent and filled the hull up with water (enough to not ingest anything) and drove the ski around the block or two, then opened up the drain plugs before I got home and all looked good.

Mr. Moto...

It's a cleaning agent found in motocross shops. Spray it on, wait 5 minutes, hose it off. Works awesome. A steam pressure washer will make the hull look like new...but obviously, want to be carefull if the motor is still in the hull.

the cleaner the better. it almost feels like everything runs/performs better when its clean. lol

MEAN GREEN!! $1 at dollar store type of place.

Also...you can plug the scupper, fill your hull with it, dish soap, degreaser, and water and drive it around for a bit then a light scrub and pump out

I use brake clreaner to remove oil residue and grime... man that ******** is sweet, it eats the ******** right off there... no scrubbing at all
just spray it off w/ water right away.. it's strong stuff

At least more willing to put my hands in there to make it run better if it isn't running right.
I have a theory there will be three things left after a Nuclear Apocalypse:
1. Cockroaches
2. Hotdogs
3. Two stroke exhaust sludge

My buddy uses it at his shop and he has to buy the stuff out of state now. It was too strong and in NJ atleast they have a watered down version. The original stuff burned your hands if it got on your hands.

DemX - I found that out the hard way.

my hands were peeling for weeks after I used it straight.

I used the cheap AutoZone brand engine degreaser. Take a look at the pics in my build thread that I have neglected to keep up to date. There are two skis in the thread that I cleaned the same way.
