Washdown pump

#1 Post by wickerbill » Mon May 19, 2014 7:41 am

Anyone using one of these to clean your boat? Do you just pull lake water or do you use some sort of reservoir?
Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me, I want people to know 'why' I look this way. I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved.

I installed one on my party barge, mostly to clean up after fishing. No reservoir, just pulls in raw bay water.

Yep, just use a bilge pump, drop in the water connected to the battery and cut a garden hose long enough to reach. Simple and cheap.
