I have not been at our boat in about 2 weeks and really noticed the dirt on the boat from the birds, dust etc. I did not have time to clean it today and will go back tomorrow and get that done. I was thinking 'what would make cleaning a boat faster'.
How about installing a new pressure washer pump in the engine compartment with a 50 foot high pressure hose connected and stored in the transom locker. Also in the the transom locker could be an an on/off switch. The water could come from the water tank or shore water. If the boat needs washing pull out the hose turn in it on and get at it. The whole boat could be done in 10 min.
I can see an issue if the pressure washer produced to much pressure and damaged the gelcoat but assuming that was managed I think it would work.
The water tank is 45 gallons full. Assuming the pressure washer takes 2 gallons per min that would be lots of water , infact it would likely only take half that much water max.
