Ideally, water in your boat’s bilge should be kept to a minimum. Small amounts of water can enter a boat’s bilge from rain, ocean spray, heavy washdown or minor leaks. If you notice excessive water accumulation, it could indicate an issue like a leaking hose, hull damage, or failing seals.
A dry bilge is preferable because standing water can lead to mold, mildew, and even corrosion over time. That’s why solutions like BILGE-B-DRY exist—to continuously remove residual moisture and keep your bilge completely dry. Keeping your boat’s bilge dry is crucial for maintaining its longevity and overall condition. Here’s why:
Prevents corrosion and rust – Standing water can lead to metal components corroding and weakening over time.
Reduces mold and mildew growth – A damp bilge creates the perfect environment for bacteria, mold, and mildew, which can result in unpleasant odors and health issues.
Protects electrical systems – Many boats have electrical wiring running through the bilge and excess moisture can cause malfunctions, shorts, or even serious electrical damage.
Improves overall maintenance – A dry bilge allows you to easily inspect for leaks, damage, or mechanical issues without water hiding potential problems.
Increases boat longevity – By keeping moisture out, you extend the lifespan of your boat and avoid costly repairs down the road.
