pressure washer trailer image

I have a new Avalon Pontoon Boat which has been in salt water for one month. I pulled it out recently and found a considerable amount of baricles attached to the pontoons and the motor. What can I use to reduce or prevent this problem. I used a pressure washer to remove as many of the barnicles from the engine and pontoons, but portions of the pontoons can not be reached while on the trailer. Even after powerwashing with straight water, there is a roughness to the pontoons. What can be done to remove the roughness and coat the pontoons.
Answer
+ first you need to get all of the barnacles off. If that means jacking up the pontoon boat from the trailer one section at a time then that's what you have to do. Be really careful, and place safety blocks and dun age where you can so that there is no danger of having it fall on you or getting stuck. Next you need to clean the portion of the boat to as smooth as you can get it. The smoother the surface the better. I have seen people use a good quality paste wax to make it smooth and I have seem sail boat racers use a coat of soap to smooth the bottom and prevent barnacles but they are very temporary solutions as barnacles are pervasive. The longest lasting solution is the use of a good marine bottom paint at least two coats. Even that will not last a whole season. Interlux and Petit are the ones I have tried so far.

I am a mobile car detailer - Can i replace my bulky 4kw generator with an inverter to run off 12v battery?

i need more room in my van so want to get rid of bulky 4kw generator. I need 4kw to boot up my 1.5kw pressure washer.
Answer
The current required from the battery will be 4000 watts / 12V = 333 amps. You will need very large wires to the inverter. Even running current 1500 watts / 12V = 125 amps. Is the alternator in the car capable of supplying this much current to keep the battery charged? I suspect you'll be hard pressed to make this work with the stock alternator. Upgrade the alternator and battery and you may have a chance.
Perhaps you could mount the generator on a trailer hitch carrier to free up space within the van.
