Default Fresh water washdown ideas


"HK" wrote in message
. ..
I'm thinking seriously of installing a fresh water washdown system in
the new Yo Ho. The boat has a very large center console* with good access,
so I have room for a decent tank. I'm thinking 12 to 15 gallons.
Probably a poly water tank, a washdown pump, a bit of hose, a couple of
hose fittings for filling tank, for draining tank to the cockpit, for the
hose washdown, et cetera. Got access to unused circuit breakers in the
console.

Any suggestions? Pitfalls?

Washdown will be used to flush the decks on occasion, to wash off hands,
to spray down the windshield, but the water will not be used for drinking.

Any suggestions?





* Large enough console for a 6' taller rigger to climb into it completely
when doing the original electronics wiring. I didn't believe it unti I saw
it for myself.


Use a garden sprayer. One of the poly ones. Then you can adjust the spray
to also hose off the LT incoming or your hands.
