Local car wash on the way home. $4 soak/soap/high pressure rinse. Perfect

Why not install a deck wash on your boar as well. Doesn't cost that much and means you only need to rinse the boat with fresh water later on. If you're fishing fresh then it's even more water saved.

i just got back from my local fishing club ( williamstown and newport angling club ) on williamstown beach and was discussing this topic down there at the meeting and i got told by another member that works from melbourne water and he said that the rule is: if you have a corrosive substance on a vechicle ( car, boat etc ) you are aloud to spot wash it and as salt is a corrosive substance you are aloud to wash your boat down as long as you use a bucket or you can use the water from flushing your motor aswell.

Any boat can have a deck wash fitted. Great for just rinsing things off.
