Scrubbing piles / slipway near a tap [Solent]

[Scarron]

It's about time I gave the bottom and outdrives a good scrub off and changed the anodes.

I have a decent pressure washer which [I think] will run off a genny, however I don't think it'll run off a gravity fed bin so really I need to find somewhere with a nearby water tap to feed it.

The boat will dry out and I have a pair of drying legs that came with it that I'd like to have a practise with.

So does any one know anywhere suitable for my purposes in the Solent [ I am moored in Hamble]

Ta.

Scrubbing Piles at the Folly Inn (R. Medina) might meet the requirement.

Hardway Sailing Club have scrubbing grids with piles. IIRC as a non-member, you'll pay a tenner a tide.

You'll need to book unless you can do it midweek, and use the grids on the N side of the pontoon. S side are pretty manky

Aren't there some on the Hamble just by the Rising Sun?

 

[AIDY]

yup but a long way from a tap. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif unless it's just beer you want on tap and it's ideal /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Isn't Speckled Hen meant to bring a shine to teak?

Right next door to Hardway Sailing Club is Hardway Marine Chandlers, he has a scrubbing pad with piles and he will rent you a petrol powered pressure washer, not sure of costs but pretty reasonable

Check you genny output, most pressure washer draw well in excess of 2000w on startup .....
