Jay Chan Why do you need to wash off the salt water all the time. Just pour a little fresh water from a drinking water bottle on the hands if you need to get the salt off. Sal****er will not hurt you. I wash off the bait juice all the time by dipping my hands in the ocean. Then use a towel to dry my hands.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - I use my pants leg. :) I wear shorts most of the year.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Pansy.

wrote: Sorry to hear that your sister has a similar skin problem on her hands. Mine was coming from washing dishes, and may have to do with the use of detergent. Guess what, this problem tends to run in the same family (my brother also has the same problem). This means you may develop this problem if you wash dishes without wearing gloves. My hands take abuse pretty well. When they were calloused I often cleaned them with a wire brush, diesel oil and sugar. I found it the best way to remove navy special fuel oil, which is black nasty stuff. My sister's problem did in fact manifest itself from washing dishes. She tried different dish detergents to no avail. She now uses an automatic dishwasher and that has essentially solved her problem. Anyway, I have found several hand-powered marine water pump fixtures in one of the marine supply store. Somehow, they are not as inexpensive as what I thought. In fact, they cost more or less the same as a simple electric water pump fixture. I guess I may have to go for the simple electric water pump instead of the hand powered version that I originally looked for. Oh well; but at least I have a choice :) Well, if I wanted to do what you first asked about, I would take the electric pump approach I first suggested. You can have a container holding quite a few gallons of fresh water tucked out of the way, with only a nozzle and switch to tangle your fishing line on. Of course you've got to run the wires and rubber tubing out of the way. Personally I would just use squeeze bottles, or a cooler jug with a turn spigot to meter the water handlessly. With the spigot you can rinse your hands normally, as you would do under a faucet. The jug positioning/attachment would be the major issue. But since I don't have your particular problem or boat it's hard to judge what's best. Good luck. --Vic --Vic |

Guess what, this problem tends to run in the same family (my brother also has the same problem). This means you may develop this problem if you wash dishes without wearing gloves. My hands take abuse pretty well. When they were calloused I often cleaned them with a wire brush, diesel oil and sugar. I found it the best way to remove navy special fuel oil, which is black nasty stuff. My sister's problem did in fact manifest itself from washing dishes. She tried different dish detergents to no avail. She now uses an automatic dishwasher and that has essentially solved her problem. Anyway, I have found several hand-powered marine water pump fixtures in one of the marine supply store. Somehow, they are not as inexpensive as what I thought. In fact, they cost more or less the same as a simple electric water pump fixture. I guess I may have to go for the simple electric water pump instead of the hand powered version that I originally looked for. Oh well; but at least I have a choice :) Well, if I wanted to do what you first asked about, I would take the electric pump approach I first suggested. You can have a container holding quite a few gallons of fresh water tucked out of the way, with only a nozzle and switch to tangle your fishing line on. Of course you've got to run the wires and rubber tubing out of the way. Personally I would just use squeeze bottles, or a cooler jug with a turn spigot to meter the water handlessly. With the spigot you can rinse your hands normally, as you would do under a faucet. The jug positioning/attachment would be the major issue. But since I don't have your particular problem or boat it's hard to judge what's best. Good luck. --Vic --Vic Thanks for the suggestion. I am leaning toward using the simplest electric pump with a tiny faucet as what you have suggested. Originally I thought of using a hand powered pump. But the available models are not cheaper than the simplest electric pump and have more "things" sticking out in comparison to the electric model. Jay Chan |

Hello Jay,
Check out my web site it might have the answer your looking for. http://www.hyseasinflatableboats.com |
Need a Way to Wash Hand with Fresh Water
Did a 'foot pump' search on eBay and got item# 190080026837
(windshield washer pump). Sounds good to me. Put the jug where you want, put the nozzle where you want, and stomp on the pump. (Remembered the pump in a portajohn.) Den YF48 |

Den again: http://www.toico.com/sinkparts.html a "Baby Whale Foot Pump" Den 48YF Thanks for the great suggestion! That web site seems to have a lot of low cost hand powered water pumps and faucets. I have a feeling that they are selling their products for general purpose use instead of for marine environment; this explains the reason why they cost much less than what I find in marine supply store. I guess this should be OK because I am supposed to use it to pump freshwater from a freshwater tank, not sal****er, and I park my boat in the driveway, not leaving it in the slip. Moreover, those that I find in marine supply store are not stainless steel anyway (chrome-plated may be brass or aluminum). Jay Chan |
