STINKY, your a madman. great work brother. ;)

Re: I finally....
 

Its a washdown pump in the bilge with a thru hull MJ.


Oh and YES I want to hide the hose, but I kinda dont have the room. My shrimp trawl fills that space behind it and the other side is batteries. That why I put a fast connect on it so I can throw it in with the batteries....best I can do under these circumstances. :-/

Re: I finally....
 

pretty work on the washdown. Like the faucet however I just bend down and wash hands in the water. You getting lazy in your old age ;D

Re: I finally....
 

Yeah thats what I said after I got all done with it. I stoo there and stared for a moment....then I said "well, thats gonna be SO much better than leaning over the side" ::)

Re: I finally....
 

looks great stink! now i got some more ideas for mine too lol...i'm diggin the faucet .. why risk falling over when you dont have too....good job!

Re: I finally....
 

I know what you are using I was asking if you think the 2 pumps I showed in the other threat would work for a wash down or I needed something different??

Re: I finally....
 

Oh ...sorry MJ I missed tht sentence..sometimes I read faster than my brain can intake...big shocker there I know. ::)


Hell yeah I bet they would work!! My washdown pump is only 3.9 GPM and its STOUT! The pressure is as good as any you would get at your house. Those 9GPM deals would be GREAT. Just hang on they might blow you off the boat. ;D


Oh and be mindful of battery draw if they are that powerful...what kinda amperage they pullin?

Re: I finally....
 

That is some nice work there SH! I was trying to figure out a way to make a faucet myself. I have decided on just bringing the pipe out of the side like yours but higher, and just put an elbow pointing down. But I like yours.

I dont mind leaning over to wash my hands, I am just tired of dropping pliers, hook outs, bait knives, etc overboard when trying to wash them.

Plus my kids can't reach the water over the side and I make them take off fish and cut bait, especially the girls, don't want them getting dependant on any males.

Re: I finally....
 

Hey Stink you can remove the writing on your PVC pipe with laquer thinner and have a nice clean white shinny pipe ;D

Re: I finally....
 

Says it has a 12 amp draw

Thanks I am going to try it tomorrow on something.
