How To Clean Up Your Bay Boat After Trolling & Gigging!

Quick Answer

Rinse the deck and livewell with fresh water immediately after leaving the water. Scrub blood, slime, and bait residue with a marine-safe cleaner and a stiff brush, paying close attention to scuppers and rod holders. Flush the bilge and rinse any coolers thoroughly. Wipe down electronics and railings with a damp cloth. Let everything dry completely before storing to prevent mildew and odor. A quick post-trip routine keeps your bay boat ready for the next outing and extends the life of your deck and fittings.
