Our shower head can be hand held or attaches to the wall plus it has a shut valve at the head. In the mornings with out running the generator, we have enough hot water for two showers if we each do a generous GI shower. The shut of valve is nice once you get the water temperature adjusted and water up.
Hi Ted,
Sounds like we have the same set up. Handheld that has a wall mount with on the head shut off while "soaping", etc. I bought a new handheld this year, an Oxygenics from Camping World. They are highly rated as to good stream and low flow, with shut off at the head. However, I have not tried it yet. It is stuck at my US delivery station due to Covid restrictions. If we ship from US to Canada using a courier, the "added" on fees can be horrible, and they are not even listed when purchasing.
Our shower head is mounted on the wall and has about a 5' metal flex hose to the hand held shower head that has a shutoff at the head. We don't do GI showers. I'm not wasteful when it comes to showers but I do enjoy the luxury of a nice, hot shower when we're on board.
We put a Skandvik shower in one of our heads last year. So far we love it. It was not cheap but it also isn’t plastic.
Same exercise on my boat....works great!Our shower head can be hand held or attaches to the wall plus it has a shut valve at the head.

We even leave the wet towels outside. The only moisture that comes in is footprints.
Ted: This is the mixer we have. Probably similar to the one Comodave referenced. The hose threads fit the shut off just before the head. I bought 3 different shower heads from a box store to get one that fit wall bracket, wasn’t too heavy but didn’t feel like something from the Dollar Store.

The pull out will definitely be used....It's one of the best water conservation devices on our boat.But when I shopped for a new faucet, I decided to go with one that had a handheld sprayer. I don't know if it will ever be used for inside showers, but it is there. We will still be in the minority in the poll as those who bathe like mariners.
I won't pretend to know what a navy shower is. When I was an avid camper and pontooner, I used a 1.5 gallon solar shower bag. I can get the stink off. Later, I wanted an upgrade so I painted a 2 gallon chemical sprayer black and used that for a shower. Worked good and no chemicals were ever run through it. Well, bleach from time to time.
