So is it necessary to clean the parts with a soup solution after cleaning with kerosene...?

John - wow - 25 years! If I don't do mine once a year I feel guilty I use mineral spirits and a tooth brush and fine brass brush! When I bought the boat the grease had turned into wax and I used a non-metallic scraper. Being in a garage is not an issue. I clean my motorcycle chain with mineral spirits in the garage. If you are going to let them soak, cover it with a lid. I don't use rags so that is not an issue.

First, they greatly expanded the automotive section and oils/solvents. Picked up a gallon of the ZEP citrus based degreaser and a couple paint buckets. I'll drop a winch in tonight and see what happens. Luckily, there is a utility sink in the garage, so the admiral won't see the mess. I'll report back on my success/failure.

That was a job in itself, as the bolts had fused to the aluminum mounting plates. A combination of PB Blaster, vinegar and acetone, along with a hammer and screwdrivers got them off. The grease is a gummy mess. Any recommendations on a non-flammable solvent I can soak them in? I'm working in the garage, so diesel and kerosene are out.
