Default Re: I finally....

Here are a couple pics.


I got a little carried away with some modifications to my wash down system. *::)

I made a "faucet" of sorts in the back for washing hands after cutting baits and dressing fish and stuff. Seems pretty silly to some I'm sure, but it'll come in handy. Next to it is my wash down hose. It has a quick disconnect on it in case I want to get it up out of the way. As you can see the face is made outta my favorite stuff STARBOARD!! *;D





Here is a better pic of the "faucet". It is just a piece of 1/2 schedule 40 heated and bend the way I wanted it. Now if the system is charged all you do it flip the inline cutoff and flip it off. the water flows accordingly.







Here is the final leaning post shot after the live well add on and the seat too.








I came through the deck plate and epoxied a piece of 2" PVC for the water lines and air hose. This way I don't have to cut a big hole in my deck and the water from the deck wont just pour into the bilge. I'm probably gonna put some kinda boot on it as well.





I even got all motivated and refinished the ONLY two pieces of teak I own. *:D












In one of my smarter moments I went ahead and rigged the wash down pump (located in bilge next to bilge pump) so that the flip of a fast disconnect and the wash down pump becomes an emergency bilge pump. It will pump it out of the faucet or wash down hose outlet and out onto the self bailing deck. *8)
