Lloyd,
How long have you been cruising? Ever hear of boat showers? Turn it on,
wet body, turn it off. Wash body. Turn it on, rinse body, turn it off.
For dishes, install a foot pump in the galley plumbed to through hull.
Use salt water to wash dished, rinse with fresh. 200 gal of water will
last weeks,

Hi,

Far Cove is set up for a shower, but was never installed. I was looking
at "low-flow" showerheads, and they say they use 2.5gpm. Egad - for a
5-min shower that's over 10 gallons! Far Cove has 50gal of water, and I'm
thinking of addding another 20gal tank, but still: 10 gals per shower??

Is this realistic? What is a practical estimate of how much water an
on-board shower will take?
