FINALLY! The boats back in. SW Florida has some great weather coming up. We have our first trip planned and we will be anchoring out several nights. My boat does not have a wash down, for whatever reason. The ground tackle is fine, but it gets muddy and smelly coming up. The old rope and bucket routine just plain sucks. I thought about adding a wash down pump, done it before. But the typical problems, crawling around and bending into a pretzel shape and all that nonsense, I thought about a "portable" system. Get a good wash down pump. Screw it to a piece of star board and put a couple of stainless steel hooks on it to hang on the bow rail. Drop a pick up hose into the water, hook up the power and there you go. The water would have to lift about 8 feet. What type of pump will do that dry? What should I be looking for?
