Peggie,

The boat we just bought has been laid up on shore for six years. The
poly holding tank looked very clean when I inspected it and the boat
was always in fresh water. It was also used continuously for ten years
before being laid up. I know I have to lube and renovate the head.

Here's the question:

Will all the nasties have died in the last six years or are they just
lying dormant in permeated hoses and other places waiting to blossom
into life as soon as the salt water hits. I'm planning a complete
replacement of everything but hoping I can get through this season
without handing out clothespins for the crew's noses.
