Cleaning the boat, in the lake?

NH laws regarding the health of the lake are incredibly lax compared to States like Maine. In the end its the lake and the people who own property on it that suffer. Weeds love soap, sewage and fertilizer. Keep feeding the lake those items and your always going to have weeds.

No need to worry about the weeds, we can always kill them with chemicals.

I expect no one would bother you if you just used a rag or brush, with no cleansers, and dipped it into the lake as needed.

Interesting topics. My homeowner association will not allow you to wash your car in your driveway. They claim that detergent used in the wash damage the grass. Come on! The rule's were written back in the '70's. I'm sure biodegradeable soap made today are 'grass safe'.

We've done this before. Not a bad idea and gets a good chunk of the excess slime if you're desperate.

I don't see much of a point mid-season. If you're boat is in the water another week, it's just going to build up again, right?
