I'm sorry, but I haven't had a chance to even unpack this power washer and this is why I haven't provided a review.

I use mine on a cabin cruiser boat. It will maintain the starting batteries and radio but not the bigger electric draws like the fridge, air or even the fans.

It does not have the power of a power washer. You could use for the undercarriage but I don't think it will get any heavy dirt off.

Larry, I haven't used mine yet, but yes, you would need a 12v power source where you operate. I have no intention on finding a creek to operate mine. I am collecting some great dirt in plastic buckets, and then I transport them to wherever is easiest for me to run my Sluice. I carry a 100+ gallon water tank in my pickup, so I can pull my gold from wherever I like. Will work fine at home also. Buckets of good dirt is the key! The Sluice looks great. It has rotten instructions and I can't find any online. Normally all I need is a final picture of the item to help assemble, yet they don't even include that. Amazon has the only pic. I could find.

Pressure washers are part garden hose and part air compressor. A typical pressure washer has a motor that is either powered by gasoline or electricity. This motor powers the air intake system, which builds air pressure in an accompanying tank. A garden hose hooked up to the washer provides water to a separate tank.The washer is hooked to a high pressure-rated hose. At the end of the hose is a water gun that looks similar to the pressure guns used at car washes. When the trigger is pulled, the water mixes with the air and comes out of the nozzle.

I think it would work fine. I'm assuming you are saying you want to pull the boat a short distance to a dock or another boat. It's stronger than the aluminum extension poles sold by fishing supply and outdoor stores.

I can not imagine how that would work. A pressure washer has a feed through pump that can take in 60 PSI water and put out 1200 / 3600 PSI . The air compressor is for air only , but you could buy what is called an air knife to connect to it and have a hand held or pole mounted dryer that would be like a squeegee to push the water off after you had pressure wasted something . There are small electric pressure washers in this price range that work ok.

I can't answer that, but I know who can. Go to pressurewashersdirect.com. I bought the pressure washer from them. They should be able to answer that question because they sell all makes of pressure washers, gas and electric. They also can tell you about the accessories for all of the equipment. They have a "questions" email field on the website. I have found them to be very helpful in all situations with a quick response time.

I believe you could however I recommend that you put a washer machine screen the kind used on the inlet hose on a washer machine. on the inlet side of the meter to keep any debris such as dogs logs frogs getting caught in the turbine that spins and counts the gallons of water.

We purchased this Electric Power Washer a few months ago and it works great! Have cleaned a large pool deck and paver driveway easily using just water.Was easy to assemble and has plenty of pressure - also own a gas pressure washer and this is almost as powerful. Love it!

You would be far better off using a sump pump designed to do that task. There is no drain port, sump pumps can be rented cheaply, and if you did try to make your own drain and use this to empty large volumes of water you would burn out the motor quickly.

I believe a clothes washer hose has the same end connections as a garden water hose-so yes with the adapter connection provided-it should work just fine. It is what I originally used when I bought the pump-I connected an old garden water hose to it and it worked okay--just not enough volume through a small hose so it just takes longer to move the all the water.

It works just fine. I have a 1800psi electric pressure washer, but i would recommend the foam cannon. Green earth doesnt give you as much suds. Hope that helps you answer your question.

Yes just make sure the battery connector is compatible with the boats connector.

I have this electric pressure washer as well as a gas washer. I just went to my garage to take a look at the connects to answer your question. There are a couple of quick connects on this unit. The water supply hose screws into a plastic, yellow quick disconnect that stays attached to the pressure washer when not in use. The other quick disconnect is on the pressure hose/wands. The hose side is a brass tip that attaches to the front of the unit (a mixed plastic and brass connection). The handle side of the wand uses one of two provided nozzles, both of which are spring loaded to attach to the handle, both plastic. The implication of your question implies a concern for the quality of the unit. I have used this machine as well as a prior, smaller unit with no failure due to the quality of the connections. I hope this answers your factual question as well as your implied concerns. This is a well made, useful product. It does what you want it to. It is not a gas model pressure washer but it is a good electric pressure washer.

Yes, whichever of the three power brushes you choose would be powered by the power supply that runs through the hose and wand.
