Default Fresh water washdown ideas

I'm thinking seriously of installing a fresh water washdown system in
the new Yo Ho. The boat has a very large center console* with good
access, so I have room for a decent tank. I'm thinking 12 to 15 gallons.
Probably a poly water tank, a washdown pump, a bit of hose, a couple of
hose fittings for filling tank, for draining tank to the cockpit, for
the hose washdown, et cetera. Got access to unused circuit breakers in
the console.

Any suggestions? Pitfalls?

Washdown will be used to flush the decks on occasion, to wash off hands,
to spray down the windshield, but the water will not be used for drinking.

Any suggestions?





* Large enough console for a 6' taller rigger to climb into it
completely when doing the original electronics wiring. I didn't believe
it unti I saw it for myself.
