I’ve used a pressure washer inside the bilge. It works, but be prepared for some overspray. I turned my 4000psi washer down to just under 2000psi. It does a heck of a job, but can damage wiring, paint, and bilge pump switches if you’re not careful.
Use in the engine compartment is fine, as long as you don’t point the nozzle at any electronics, wiring, or seals on the engine.

I have been thinking of using a small power washer to clean my engine and bilge prior to re-painting my Beta 28. Of course I need to seal the alternator and the plug that connects the engine electrics to the starting panel before I begin blasting away with the washer. I could never reach some parts of the engine with a brush. Before I begin and destroy something, does this seem like a reasonable way to clean the engine?
