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 |

Works off of 12 volts. Find the size you want and afix it to your boat, install a switch and attach it to the power buss. Probably pick one up at a junk yard for almost nothing. -- ***** Have a super day! ***** John H |

Not for salt but for mustard, etc. |
