Question about kayak cleaning

Post by StrykerDM »

Anybody use a pressure washer to clean their yak? How much psi should I shoot for? I’m looking at getting one for around the house use but also want to be able to clean my yak after saltwater trips

I've used ones at car washes and the one we keep at the ranch without issue. I think the one at our ranch is about 3000 psi. It has 4 or 5 tips and I've gone all the way up to the narrowest cone angle for small extra stubborn stains without issue.

Regardless of which PSI you use start with the widest cone nozzle and narrow it up until your kayak is getting cleaned to your satisfaction. I would just be careful around the hatches and anywhere else there may be a gasket or seal.
