Re: Hit a rock and sank!
Whew... spent ALL day today washing.... after cleaning every possible bit out I would fill it to the top and drain it and end up with more nest material bits of foam and feces... was just about to start cutting the flotation foam out when I discovered channels outside the footwells that were only accessible by shoving the hose over the foam and then motherloads of nastiness came washing out at the very back of the ski... I mean HUGE amounts! Those little buggers had a regular mouse city in there.....
Now after hours of flushing those channels and filling n dumping the ski I FINALLY have it all out... I'm gonna let it sit over night and if I can't smell anything tomorrow I'll start the transplant... If there is still any odor it will get filled to the top one last time and I'll run up to the pool supply store for some granulated chlorine shock treatment for a final cleansing.
