Will pouring bleach in the bilges followed by copious rinsing of water
harm anything ?

No...but it won't do much good either. Bleach is an "antibactial" and
stain remover...it has no cleaning or oil emulsifying properties
whatever. And what you need is something (detergent/degreaser) that does
emulsify oils.
