Neat new washdown setup
« on: July 07, 2006, 10:27:44 PM »
I saw this and thought it was a neat idea.  Installed it on my boat today and wondered why someone had not thought of it earlier...

A washdown hose that stores itself in the bulkhead.  Keeps it out of the way when you don't need it, yet it's right there when you do!

Here are pictures of the installation on my AS:

Best deal seems to be at Bass Pro Shops for $50:

I'm even thinking about running a hose to the front and putting a second one up there...

Neat idea!  How long is the storage tube?

Washdown

It's about a foot long - it fit in the portside cubby hole at the stern of my 22-2 CCP with some room to spare.  Nice location because it's right by the swim platform and it seems like the back of the boat usually catches more of the mess.  The system is made by T-H Marine and installs just like a 6" deck plate.  I am thinking about putting another one in the front beside the anchor locker.  Some days, it seems like you can never have enough washdown!   :roll:

Oh you mean like this. :)









The switch for the pump is mounted under the washboard right beside the washdown station, so you don't have to go back and forth to turn the pump ON/OFF.

Warthog - that is one sweet-looking rig!  Whycome you don't have a Member Gallery in the Photo Gallery?  I think we would all like to see some more pictures of your boat.  Thanks!

Captian is right, but the part I don't like is not posting the pix's on the forum page where your talking about something and having to serch down the pix in the gallery.

The Photo Gallery in general is fine.

If you want to see more of my boat go here:
http://www.classicmako.com/projects/xshark/

There is a lot of explaination along with the pix's.

I have a LOT of pix's that are not in those 44 page's of pix's also.
