I have used the 'Simple Green' product which is a good degreaser. To be truely green though I would say you could use a stronger less 'green' detergent (Dawn- possibly) BUT make sure you DON'T pump the bilge into the Lake or Bay. Instead get an old 5 gallon oil pail and dispose of properly at a facility that will accept. I use an oil extractor to suck up the degreased water/oil mixture.
