I have been posting a lot lately as I now have three 9.9/15 hp OMC's I am in the process of fixing up. In doing so I have spent a lot of time running them in a barrel, and as you know, doing so at lower rpms for even short periods of time creates some very oily water. Of course when you remove them they are a slimy mess. I typically just hose them off with some good water pressure and let them "self clean" when I run them on the boat but that is not a very good solution. What would be the best and simplest thing to do? Would a coating of engine degreaser and then a rinse do the trick? Is there some special home made solution that works? Or maybe should I just get the car wash bucket and some dawn dish detergent out and give it a hand wash each time I remove it from the tub?
