Dave, how are you and Donna? It's good to hear you again! I wish I would have talked to you before I laid out my washdown system. Now, rather than retrofit, I'm seriously considering the power washer idea.

I think you've won the contest for best washdown system.

Home Depot's web site has this: 1500 PSI Electric Pressue Washer, Model HD1500HSDS, Price: $119.00/ea

Is this the model you have installed on your C42?

We mounted the pump under the pullman berth. The pump came already attached to a piece of Starboard with rubber vibration dampers on its feet, so I just screwed it in place on the hull stringer under the bunk (remove the drawers for easy access). Plumbed into the seawater intake from the head and into the water line from the forward fresh water tank, with appropriate valves to protect against any cross-pollution. The hose bib and the on/off switch are... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (azure42) http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/sreply/4303 Wed, 04 Jan 2006 09:53:17 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: Washdown pump ]]> http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/reply/4302/t/Washdown-pump.html#reply-4302
As to our mud, it is typical Chesapeake Bay "gunk". It doesn't sound as nasty as what you describe. It still makes sense to me to use the bay water for these wash-down tasks. What type of pump did you use, where is it located, how is it plumbed, is it switched in the anchor locker, where is the hose stored, etc.? We have 90 gals. of fresh water capacity. If we are out for a few days,... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (gasmanmd) http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/sreply/4302 Wed, 04 Jan 2006 09:20:56 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: Washdown pump ]]> http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/reply/4301/t/Washdown-pump.html#reply-4301
Good ideas for simplifying a washdown system....you guys do great stuff with C42's. One influence for Scott to consider, though, is the type of holding ground in his favorite anchorages and the possible need for a more powerful stream of water for cleaning the rode. There's a saying in our area, "One teaspoon of bottom mud can paint your whole boat".
