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 -

Real men don't wear shorts.

If you don't wear shorts, you may get hooked in the srong place.-

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

Handy info:http://www.bluefox.com/products/classic_vibrax.php

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.- Hide quoted text -

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.- Hide quoted text -

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

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.
