I'm wondering if someone can recommend any ideas or products that might help me clean my boat while I'm on the lake. I'm not looking at a full wash, just something that will allow me to have a little pressure and hose to clearn off the deck, kids, dogs etc... I'd like something that just pulls off the lake water so I don't have to tote around a tank. I've read about the battery powered pressure washer by worx, but most reviews weren't good. Any ideas?

Look into a permanent raw water washdown kit.

Something like a Worx still needs pressurized water to function. A washdown kit has almost everything to install.

I like it (wash down pump) but get rid of the coiled hose. Replace it with a garden hose. Huge difference in performance.

That is a Jabsco kit and if I recall, less than $115. Without the hose coil, It's $125 :confused:

Made for salt or fresh water. No idea about a battery powered pressure washer. No pressure washer should be used on kids and dogs or to flush sand from between your toes. Ouch and bleed.

I agree on the hose. Those always end up all tangled, too.

Looks like a ParMax 4. Had one one my last boat. Never had any problems with it.

Current boat has a Shurflo Pro Blaster. A little more pressure and flow for dirty work, guts and blood, but not worth the extra money to hose down dogs and kids. Used a 5 gallon bucket on the deck for years

A one gallon bucket, a 3M sponge and a leather chamois. Been doing that for 50 years now. No muss, no fuss.

Hi
i believe the more recent worx power washer is better. More powerful battery.
I have a karcher portable li-ion washer. Good enough
