What this video covers
A battery-powered pressure washer made by Ryobi gets a hands-on test aboard a 7-metre wooden boat, Veslemøy, at the Asker Trebåtfestival in Setre.▶ 0:07 Owner Ervin Bryne bought the unit, and Thomas Nilsson used it to strip salt from the deck and topsides in minutes, leaving the hull mirror-clean in sunlight.▶ 0:13 The washer runs on a 12-volt battery — the same platform used by Ryobi drills and other tools — and connects either to a standard garden hose or draws from a bucket.▶ 0:46 A small battery gives roughly 12 minutes of run time; the largest battery extends that to about 30 minutes.▶ 1:07 A 20-litre water can lasted surprisingly long.▶ 1:34 The unit delivers four times the pressure of a garden hose, which covers most routine boat-cleaning jobs.▶ 0:59 A 3-in-1 nozzle switches between a turbo jet, fan spray, and shower pattern.▶ 1:44 Compact size makes it easy to carry to locations without shore power or running water.▶ 0:59 Entry price starts around 2,000 NOK, excluding battery and charger.▶ 2:01 Ryobi is not the only brand offering battery-powered pressure washers; accessories are also available separately.▶ 1:49
