I have used the remainder with an old soft broom to give the sides a bit of a clean but over all it is a bit of a sad wash as far as the boat is concerned. It did surprise me how much water i was using to clean the boat, simply flushing took a solid 20 litres. Might have to start taking a bucket into the shower and save the water for fishing days but even then it is hard not being able to use the pressure a garden hose provides to get right under the boat to do the rollers etc. Open to any ideas!!

How far is it to the nearest fresh water boat ramp?
