That's what the pressure washers are for! I wonder if my little
electric 1450 psi would be powerful enough?



I'm still operating under what may be an old wive's tale, that pressure
washers permeate the gel coat and soak the fiberglass underneath. I
don't know if that is true, but it has kept me from ever using a
pressure washer on any boat.


I do use a brush with a four foot handle. It's perfect for most of the
boat except the little nooks & crannies around the companionway hatch
cover & the handholds on the coachtop. Smithers scum would be an
emergency case and might require drastic measures.
