• Coil washdown Hose
  • The shorter ones work okay-- the longer ones can be a challenge.
    • I'm using the 15ft Hosecoil Side Mount Enclosure
      • That is what we had on TPIII, worked fine!
  • speaking of washdowns... how about a seawater/freshwater system...
    • Kind of a neat idea, but you would want different nozzles
      • Aren't the pumps all demand pumps?
        • We have raw and fresh water -- both at the galley and anchor washdown
          • That's the thing I was wondering... the sanitary and maintence issues...
      • I don't currently have a wash down system...
        • I used to do that on prior boats
    • I did this with my washdown system...
      • My wash down system uses Y valves as well but
        • A diaphragm type pump would be better for that than a spinning impeller design
      • I just ordered this Jabsco.
        • Add a wand
          • I'll second the wand. And please do let us know how it works..
