Deckwash Faucet
We wanted to install a deckwash faucet that would be convenient to the cockpit, but didn't want it to get in the way. By installing it in the forward end of the starboard coaming locker we avoided the need to cut any holes in the fiberglass. Were we to decide to remove this faucet at a later time, it would be relatively easy to replace the section of wood in which the faucet is mounted. This faucet has its own "on demand" pump and obtains its water supply from a tee fitting connected to the head inlet - no additional holes in the hull! This water supply is particularly useful for connecting a hose to use as an anchor/chain wash. BTW, we always shut off power to this pump when it is not in use to reduce the risk of flooding.
