The things women think important

I think you have to read between the lines....if you can’t find a place to park your car....it’s usually because the authorities don’t want you to be driving. If the cost and inconvenience of living onboard is built into the system....then the powers to be don’t want you living on the water

"What do you do" then?

If, instead of soap, you used one of these....

People may not notice you discharging from your washing machine

Reducing the massive over-dosing recommended by the detergent manufacturer might be useful too

No experience with laundry balls, and dont much want any, but I have found a plunger-style agitator to be very effective when used in a bucket. Theres a type of Taiwan traffic bollard with a base flange that works well, as did a commercial grade sink plunger in the UK.

More speculatively, I wonder how steaming would work for non-delicate laundry. A little water makes a lot of steam.

If anyone spots a boat with a host of grey mullet floating belly-up around its thru-hull fittings it’ll be likely yours post-experiments with steam.

Ready steamed fish!

You used to be able to buy small 'manual' 'table-top' washing machines, with hoses for water in and out, and a crank handle to turn the drum. (I think there were electric versions, too.)

I think a washboard (the other type!) would be easier to store, though, and you could have a mangle mounted on the pushpit.

We had a washing machine with a power driven mangle attachment (maybe link something similar to the electric winch?).

IIRC my mother got her hand caught in it once and got some bruising, but I have a vague impression that it had some sort of spring loaded release mechanism that prevented limb loss

Dont get it.
(assuming there is something to get.)

Bourgeois decadence!
