It does work great. I learned that trick when I was running an assault boat in the military. One of my buddies started doing that to help out with getting his boat ready for inspections and it really worked well. We all followed his lead and it made the clean up for inspection so much easier. I dont always keep it in my bass boat but I do have experience with it and it does work very well.
