Default Need a Way to Wash Hand with Fresh Water

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 would suspect that you might be hooked in the srong place
if you are wearing shorts rather than jeans.

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.

More facts, from a friend who did something similar with a large Dardevil
lu At Strong Hospital's emergency room, they have no idea how to remove
a large fish hook. Don't go there. They came at him with tin snips. He left.

It's funny how some ER personnel get freaked out by

I've driven some rather large hooks through my hand and
one time, put a 6/0 right through my left thigh.

That hurt.

I embedded a hook in my hand while fishing in Northern Ontario several years
ago. Happened while removing a Suick from a pesky musky.

After cutting the lure from the embedded hook I drove to the hospital in
Kenora. In the ER the doc pulled out a plastic Tupper Ware container with
the words "Fish Hook Removal Tools" written on the side with a Sharpie pen.

The one tool in that collection that still sticks in my mind was an old
rusty pair of gas pliers.

After a ring block with Novocain he did the job painlessly.

I don't know about that. I have about 24" on my gut for a botched
gallbladder removal and appendix being on the left side instead of more
correctly the right side.

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.

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.
