As a part of Skinny Dippin's Charging System Upgrade project that I am undertaking this winter HERE (new window) I need to move a few of the raw water components to make space. Currently, the HVAC and anchor washdown systems share the same thru-hull and strainer. It's been a bit of a pain to send Bess to the engine room to flip the levers to send the water to the washdown pump before we pull up the anchor. Lucily, the previous owner had installed another thru-hull, but had never plumbed it to the washdown system. I am finally going to split the systems to each have their own strainer and thru-hull.
Once again, I plan to mount the entire system to a piece of Starboard in a central location.
Here is the current system just below the house battery bank. You can see the unused thru-hull with the square-head PVC plug on it. All-in-all, not the best use of space.

Here is the first mock-up on plywood with the washdown pump (left) and HVAC pump (right). BTW, the nipple on the AC pump is only a temp piece. The one on order will be for 3/4" tubing.
