Claim 6:
7. A method for cleaning a hull of a water vessel, the steps comprising:
providing a hull scrubber device which is attached to a mounting pole and which is extendable outwardly from a deck of the water vessel and having a base end removably fixed to the deck adjacent to a hull of the water vessel and a distal end spaced away from the end of the hull; a tether rope attached to the distal end of the mounting pole; and a hull scrubber head having a first end attached to the tether rope, the hull scrubber head being flexible and which hull scrubber head initially assumes a flat coil spring shape when in an inoperative mode and assumes essentially a conical cylinder shape when in a fully operative mode and subject to the pressure of the water as the vessel moves through the water;
deploying the hull scrubber head over the bow of the water vessel and below a water line to position the hull scrubber head closely adjacent to the bow of the water vessel and below the water line;
moving the water vessel through the water; and
causing the hull scrubber head to assume the shape of a cylinder and to spin against the hull of the water vessel below the water line as the water vessel moves through the water for cleaning the hull of the boat.
