When I tried previously to clean and paint our bilge, it was only a partial success, as the engine stopped me from getting to some of the more difficult to reach bits.
So now, with the engine and gearbox out, I decided to give it all a birthday, before we drop the Sabb in.

| This is the horrible sight that greeted us when we first went to pick up our boats! The muppets at Aqueduct Marina had dropped Freyja back into the water, without greasing the stern gland, water had mixed with oil and diesel and come up over the starter motor. Everything was filthy, it was a dirty job to do anything in the engine 'ole. |
 |
| After removing a bag full of rust flakes and de-greasing everything, it's ready to paint |
 |
| I had previously painted around the weedhatch and stern |
 |
| After the first coat of 2-pack garage floor paint we've got an engine 'ole that looks more suitable for our shiny blue Sabb, there'll be LEDs under the deck drain channels so it will make life easier and cleaner, when we need to work down there. |
