Re: Wood?
Cooler,
The oil that was on everything was from a busted hose while she still belonged to the previous owner. Absorbing pads are already under each of my engines just in case.
What I really want to look into now is if the rear bilge is connected directly to the mid bilge area, and if so I would like to plug that hole. This would avoid oil from the engine area (rear in my Mariner) from moving forward in the future. Anyone have an opinion on whether this is a good idea or not?

Re: Wood?
The PO isolated that one tank for two reasons: So the head would only have access to 30 gallons, and so that it was drawing from fresh water instead of the sea cock as originally designed. Apparently there was quite a bit of odor created due to the sea water.
Hope that explains the system for anyone looking at this in the future!
