I was just about to ask that very question. If cleaning in the water would be
as good or better than power washing. My bottom paint is laid up in 3 coats.
two coats of blue and the final coat in black. This allows me to simply touch
up the bottom rather than building up the coats as many do. Well, a couple of
years ago, I got an over zealous power wash guy that took the entire 3rd coat
off. He must have like seeing it turn blue or something... So I was wondering
if I might just get it cleaned by a diver before haul out

The only time I have ever skipped pressure washing upon haul out was this last
time. I only skipped it because the diver had just cleaned it and it was an
unscheduled haul out to repair hurricane damage. Was getting bottom paint and
my painter said it would be good enough without the power wash.--
