I would like to know if there is a simple device for washing hand
with
fresh water.

My boat is a 18-ft center console that is too small for adding a
sink
and faucet in it; moreover, a sink and faucet is overkill for my
need. I will wash my hand in sal****er, and then use freshwater as
the last step to wash away the sal****er from my hand. Therefore, I
only need a small amount of fresh water. I have a feeling that one-
gallon of freshwater should be more than enough for several persons
use in a fishing trip. I would like to know a neat way to
accomplish
this.

What I am looking for is something works like a garden hand-pump
spray
bottle. Then I can put the water tank under the floor, run a short
lengh of water hose to the back of the boat and connecting to a
small
water faucet, somehow having a small hand pump next to the faucet.
When I need to use it, all I need to do is pump it several times,
turn
on the faucet to let out a stream of water spray to wash the
sal****er
away from my hand (or wash the eyeglasses), let the water to run
down
to the floor and get air dried or drained to the scuppers. When I
am
done, I simply turn off the faucet. The next guy who wants to use
it
probably doesn't need to pump because there should still be enough
water pressure in the system.

Is there such a thing available in the market?

Currently, I use a one-gal water bottle and pour over my hands. But
this is not neat and is not elegant. Moreover, this tends to use
more
water than I really need.

I have thought of using a store-bought large spring water tank that
has a small faucet at the bottom and use gravity to dispense the
water. But this requires me to put the water tank a couple feet
above
the floor. I would like to put the water tank under the floor to
lower the center of gravity as much as possible (afterall it is a
small boat).

Thanks for any pointer in advance.

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 -

I am very puzzled of the reason why you may think that I am posting a
troll.

Honestly I am not very familiar with boating (a lot learned from books
and newgroups, but no practical experience). This is the reason why I
post my questions. I understand that those may be simple questions
for most people in this newsgroup. But I am not up to that level yet.

Jay,

I am sure you are not trolling, but what do you know about:

" anonymous poster using a particularly old version of Debian
Linux and associated news client....." grin.

Do you even know what Debian Linux is and it's associated news client?
I doubt if many people do.

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.

He seems fairly straight forward to me - I'm not sure where

Besides, as somebody who suffers from skin infections of

I'm reminded of a neighbor we had once - husband up and

One day she came over and wanted to know how to write

how to get oil for her oil burner and....

She had no idea how to cook food. Her husband did
everything. She could make a cup of coffee, but had no
idea how long to cook, say, a hamburger never mind
make a full meal.

So there are people who may not know for any number
of reasons. I wouldn't have any idea how to make a
lasagana for example and I wouldn't trust it even if I
made it from a recipe. :)

The 1/8 oz version will release itself from a tree branch and travel 100
feet faster than a hunter's arrow, and its hook will go through blue jeans,
under the skin and back out again, working exactly as it was supposed to. It
will pin the jeans to the leg, making it very interesting to walk. Even more
interesting if it hits the jeans just a couple of inches beneath the
heat-seeking moisture missile (just below the knee, in my case).

I will not explain how this happened, and I'll never do it again, even if it
is the last lure in the fishing vest.

Get in your car and drive to Costco. When there, get a lasagna. Pay for it.
It's as good as homemade.

Now you know everything you need to know about cooking.
