Hi guys - where might I find a deck shower for my Medline II. I need an all-in-one unit which is the pump and nozzel together which runs to a bladder and powered by 12v.
I have done some research with goog and various other sites but keep hitting a blank or only units suitable for yachts and larger craft which run from a centeral pressurised system.
Any ideas - thanks in advance......

How about a caravan water pump:- Carver Thames Water Pump w Hose
12v pump, which you place into your water tank, then attach fix a pipe joining kit through the lid of the water tank/barrel to connect the shower end to and run the wires from the pump to your switch?
All available from Towsure
Pump - £44.95
Trigger shower head £19.95
....a couple of good ideas there.
1. The longest hose B&Q do is 60ft which kind of prohibits my cruising ground and doesn't best utilise my 240ltr fuel tank.
2. Golden Showers - good tip, however I've now found another forum where already I've logged up 124 posts and arranged a "Cruise".
3. One can always rely on R.W for the safe option - thanks Rich.....
4. Thanks but I was looking for something pressurised !
May I continue to seek further ideas........now back to that other forum where things are just starting to pick up...

I meant a killer spray type thing - it IS pressurised and you can leave it in the sun to warm up!!!
it even comes with a lance so you can get into every nook and cranny - just remember to wash out the weedkiller first.......
A lot of boaters use a garden sprayer here not so much for on-board, but for rinsing the trailer after launching/recovering.
I thought about it for a on-board rinse, but I think I'm going to go with a plumbed in system if I can find a bladder that will work in my below-deck space. I can get something like a ParMax pump for a couple of hundred dollars, and simply route the hose to wherever I want the nozzle. Sounds easier than it actually will be, I assume (kind of the way it goes, though, isn't it?)
......I was hoping for but thanks and keep em coming.
There are a great many ribs which come with deck showers. They usually have a bladder and small pump attached and like one of the pictues, come with a recessed nozzle.
Codders - good idea but I look t**t enough without pulling a weed killer tank (I know exactly what you mean) from below decks to hose of the wife as she comes Ursala Andress like up the boarding ladder - some how it doesn't quite go with the image

Hi jky
Our posts crossed. The pics. are of the system on my boat. ( Came with the boat). If you need more detail please ask.
Hi, Linda;
Looks pretty unobtrusive, but I think plumbing the recessed nozzle into my aluminum deck might be a bit of work. Also, I carry spare dive cylinders underdeck on occasion, so the through-deck protrusion might be an issue. I planned to run the shower nozzle to somewhere around the console. Still all just planning, though, so nothing really firm.
............very good Dave - thanks - however, I know a unit exists with the pump preficed into a blasser which you simply topp up with a hose. With your idea, which remains good, one would been a bucket or a blasser and some way of securing the pump within. Aditionally, the switch may not be waterproof.
However, 8 1/5 out of 10 for the best idea yet.
