Right, so you get the grotty old boat that you’ve just bought cheaply back to the mooring or pontoon and one of the first things you want to do is give everything a good clean. Not only will this get you acquainted with every nook and cranny, but by the end of it you’ll have the beginnings of an enormous ‘to-do’ list.
Armed with all sorts of buckets, squeegees, cloths, mops and all kinds of detergents and cleaning potions you set about the task. Not long into the job your going to want to rinse away the worst of the resulting sludge and bubbles. Never having owned a boat can the forum tell me what the drill is.
When at home washing the car I don’t have a problem with hosing the dirty suds down the nearest drain, But how long is it going to be before an irate neighbor in the marina complains about the ever expanding mass of dirty suds enveloping the scene, and quite rightly so IMHO.
What is the method when you want to give the boat a good scrub down and hose off. It seems very anti social and a nasty way to treat a beautiful river
Please advise. I’d hate to make a pariah of myself before I get started.
Cheers,
Colin
