ABSTRACT:
For removing oil from the bilge area and fuel tank filler area of a boat, an oil absorbent pad is constructed with an outer wide mesh structural envelope confining and reinforcing an inner containment envelope of woven synthetic crepe material that will absorb oil with a wicking action while repelling water and which will contain therein granular open pore synthetic foamed resin capable of absorbing and retaining the oil without leaking. Pads are provided in the bilge area of boats to act alone or in combination with bilge pump filters, and they are provided as a ring around the fuel tank filler opening to prevent spillage during the taking on of fuel by the boat.
