Default Salt vs. Freshwater washdown


"Russell" wrote in message
oups.com...

Any thoughts? I notice some sportfishers have both. Why is that?
To get a real blast for blood and guts, the ordinary $100 washdown
pumps are crap, I can tell you that, so you need at least a 4 GPM and
50 PSI rating. Maybe more. Any recommendations on a pump?


The Egg Sportsfish we had for a couple of years had both. The salt was for
bleeding the fish and the fresh was for cleanup. Both pumps were barely
adequate though and had I remained interested in off-shore fishing and kept
the boat, I would have replaced them with higher capacity and pressure
units. The other issue was that the boat only had a 50 gallon fresh water
tank. On a full day of fishing with 4-6 people on board using the head,
etc. I think having fresh water wash down only would have exhausted the
water supply.
