I won't go so far as to say it takes care of the majority of my cleaning, but it does help.
Very interesting discussion and one I assume that is focused on inland waters as I see people cleaning their boats in the ocean all the time. They must have good sized onboard fresh water tanks as they are washing off with hoses,,,
Truth be told I have seen countless people washing their boats at their dock on Winnipesaukee, or on land and letting the rinse water and soap wash right into the lake. Never gave it a thought and honestly it seems to me that washing a boat mild soap is maybe the least damage we can do to the lake with our powerboats.
Sorry this just does not seem to be the biggest concern
