Hey, so long story short i have a lot of excess oil from oil water mixture problem and then 6 oil changes. Trying to figure out how to fast forward oil, water mixture coming out of bridge pump.

Power washer or I've heard of some who squirt a little dawn dish soap in the bilge to mix with the water while boating and then rinse down good afterwards.

You can also drop in some of the mats designed to absorb petroleum soils and then remove them when they are slimy.

I do this, but more like 1/3 bottle of dish soap. I pull the drain plug while still on the ramp to fill the bilge with several gallons of water. The drive home with the water/soap mixture cleans it out.
