How to wash boat with no shore water

[drewkaree]

Ceramic coating for anything below the water line? Not sure how durable it would be with the constant scrubbing at cruising speed, or whether the juice would be worth the squeeze, both cost-wise and longevity.

HydroHoist collects a ton of brownish growth.
Same stuff gets on the bottom of the boat especially when the lake hits 85-90 degrees.
So boat looks brownish. Would be nice to hit it with power washer.
I may go the route of using Dewalt gadget. No plan to use any chemicals.
Problem is my dock has 20 boats and dock across the creek has 25 more. I am pretty sure that some Karen or her male equivalent will filp out, record me, and send it to local DNR.
Anyway, spent couple hours today detailing by hand. Looks like new again!

Looking good!

So about your dock washing dilemma … I do think you need to have a chat with the DNR, game warden or whatever you have there about using a pressure washer at your dock.

Common sense dictates that if you’re washing the boat or lift off with lake water to remove the crud that got on there whilst on the lake it should be okay. I’d think the issues with pressure washing comes from washing things that contain debris that has bad things in it like oils or solids that could be washed into the lake. It wouldn’t surprise me that the govt and or it’s employees couldn’t see the logic in using lake water to wash off debris from the lake.
