ABSTRACT:
Floating small boat cleaning facility formed from a floating dock assembly having a pair of laterally spaced longitudinally extending side walls, a front entrance end wall, a rear exit end wall, a bottom wall, and a top wall spaced downwardly from the top edge of the side walls, to form a buoyancy chamber. The outside surface of the side walls have brackets to receive anchor pilings that have their bottom ends secured to the sea bottom. The front end wall and the rear end wall have a cutout portion formed adjacent their top edge and a plurality of vertically oriented strips of flexible material have their bottom ends attached to this top edge to form an entrance curtain and an exit curtain through which boats may pass. The curtains have structure for maintaining them in a floating substantially vertical orientation. As a boat passes through the entrance curtain, its presence is detected and signals are transmitted to the central control and computer room which controls the drive wheels that carry the boat through the floating dock assembly. As the boat progresses through the floating dock assembly, its presence is further detected which causes the brush wheel assemblies to be actuated for cleaning the water surface area of the boat.
