A few years ago I started working on the boat before the marina had turned the the water on. I brought out a utility sump pump and dropped it in the nearest marina well and plugged it in. The water was cold, but you have as much water as you need. I was very clean too because there wasn't any activity in the marina to stir up the silt. I washed and rinsed the whole boat down and it worked great!!


The water here is kind of gross.

I don't think I would want to "clean" my boat with that water!
