My
motor is under the sole of the pilothouse. At the front of the
motor there is a sump and at the bottom a hole that passes through the bulkhead. This hole has had cloth of some type stuffed in it to keep
oil from passing through but allow
water. On the other side is the
bilge with a
pump. I want to remove the cloth, clean the sump and
bilge and then put cloth back in. I was thinking I'd just use an old cotton sheet but wanted to know if anyone had experience with this? A similiar design? Is it possible the cloth is something special?
Thanks.
