Simply use a heavy duty caustic detergent (sodium silicate, etc. based detergent) pour in/ spray on and let it sit a few days, then scrub. The caustic will dissolve the bacteria and other microorganisms. Spray the adjacent areas with the same and scrub. If your are environmentally aware/concerned add a large amount vinegar to the mix to neutralize before discharging. Br sure to wear a respirator and rubber gloves when scrubbing as many of the microorganisms found in ''dark places'' on boats can be toxic mildews.
