Im like Walu...
Have a intake on the bottom of the stern, with a $25 bidge pump mounted on a home made alloy bracket.. going to a hose .. this Tess off to the home made  50Llive bait tank and to garden coupling, that attach a short garde hose and garden fitting like Walu above.
Ok it is not a blaster pressure.. but spray / wet bait board sides etc down, a brush from a $1 brush and shovel set, to lift anything that even a high pressure short of water blaster will not lift... then rinse off... without filling the boat with water. Then simply rinse of the salt with fresh water when get home.
 Get upto around 10 knots and dont need to turn on the pump as the pick up gets enough pressure.

PS replaced the collapsible hose in the pick with measures garden hose and the gun with Walu pic above.. note the 3 outlets in the livebait tank.. 1/2 full and drain in the bottom


Yes I can see the use of a high pressue / volume washdown on a larger boat.. but trailerboat.. no]]> Sat, 27 Feb 2016 10:43:03 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=116277&PID=1623002&title=washdown-pumps#1623002 <![CDATA[washdown pumps : A domestic shower uses about 10...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=116277&PID=1622702&title=washdown-pumps#1622702 Author: Big -Dave

A domestic shower uses about 10 liters a minute...
washdown pumps, are positive displacement, the pressure dosent really affect the flow rate unless you are squeezing the flow right down..
they all do a reasonable job, better if used when the blood and guts is fresh...]]> Thu, 25 Feb 2016 21:59:16 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=116277&PID=1622702&title=washdown-pumps#1622702 <![CDATA[washdown pumps : I found that the smaller volume...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=116277&PID=1622432&title=washdown-pumps#1622432 Author: MATTOO

I found that the smaller volume pumps are at best wimpy. Self priming a must.
But I overcame the problem by putting the water through my tuna pump and then the wash down. Gives me excellent blast pressure.
The wash down hoses breakdown quickly in the uv, I'm currently using a cloth covered expandable hose which is currently only half a season, so ok.]]> Wed, 24 Feb 2016 16:52:23 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=116277&PID=1622432&title=washdown-pumps#1622432 <![CDATA[washdown pumps : I have a hose nozzle similar...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=116277&PID=1622419&title=washdown-pumps#1622419 Author: Betty Boop

Also after a washdown pump and wondering,  don't want something that trickles out.
 
I see that has an output up to 9L/min but a max flow of 8.5L/min,  would of thought that was the same.
Think this will be a trickle,  get a bucket (with 9ltr capacity) and time filling it with your hose over a minute which would be the max for this.  That will answer your question remembering that to get a jet will also possibly reduce the flow on this pump.

This has come up at a good price

http://www.marine-deals.co.nz/seaflo-jet-away-portable-washdown-system-12v

 are they any good? enough pressure to shift backed on blood-n-guts can they cope with sea water? only 9L per minute, is that enough? Are there better options in this price range?

cheers in advance
