I used a regular degreaser and a bunch of water. The motors are out so it was wide open. I thought that the idea of filling th bilge with hot, soapy water then drive around the block was a good idea. So, I filled 'er up hooked the truck up and drove to the car wash.
The bilge is squeaky clean and all of the oily water ran right up into the cabin
What a dummy...

I've used Super Clean and a couple of buddies of mine discovered "Purple Power" found at your local Advance Auto to be a spray on; set for a bit; spray off product.
BUT whatever you use, after it has dried out a bit go back in and spray everything down with WD-40 to preserve the surface of all metal areas and help prevent those spots mentioned above.
As another cleaning tip from your local Advance Auto store:
Mequires Tire/Rim cleaner that comes in a clear spray bottle of pinkish liquid. Cheap; effective; easy to use yellow hull cleaner. Just spray on, let sit a couple of minutes and spray off. It doesn't have to necessarily have to say Marine boyz...
