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. 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.

After sinking a single 1/0 siwash up to the bend in my palm I found that soaking the hand in ice water is not as good as Novocain but better than nothing. |

Posted a picture overthere as to why you should always wear eye protection while fishing. As to fishhooks in ya. Tady with a large treble. One treble hook point in the forearm, another in a 20" undersized lingcod. By myself in the boat. Finally got the fish off without killing it and finally cut the big hook so I could pull it though the rest of the way. Since then I bought cutters that will easily cut any hook aboard the boat. |

Damn, CB! I really needed that at 7:20 on this fine morning! My nephew, when 10 years old, got a hook through his thumb right at the edge of the thumbnail. We couldn't pull it back, because the barb was in the flesh, so we iced it down, waited a few minutes, and then I pushed the hook the rest of the way through his thumb. Luckily I carry a big pair of cutter for just such an emergency and was able to cut the shank and pull the hook the rest of the way out. The little guy didn't cry once. A real brave little boy. -- ***** Have a super day! ***** John H |
