I know this is a dumb question but as a newbie, how do I clean out the bilge in my H180? Thanks!

Hi Grillo and welcome...

You can purchase true bilge cleaner and let it slosh around inside the bilge during an outing.
OR...
I just use Simple Green and a rag and let the gung run out the drain after we pull her out and she is sitting on the trailer.

I bet some of the guys have some true bilge cleaner products that they swear by...

Thanks,
Where exactly do you pour it? I mean where exactly is the opening for the bilge?

You lift the engine hatch and pour it down on the bottom of the hull. Your bilge is the area (specifically the "floor" area) of the lowest part of your boat where the engine is. Being on a trailer, put bilge cleaner down there. Let it slosh around when cruising, then drain it from the plug. A hose and some rags will clean it up too.
