Re: Insalling washdown pump
I haven’t installed one yet on my toon. But in the research I’d did it’s not very hard. Since I’m in saltwater I was going to install a freshwater tank on the toon. Then get a pump connect the pump to the tank and add a short hose to the pump. I check different sites for pumps west marine has them. I also searched the internet for installing a wash down system on pontoons and found a lot of info on how and what size pumps to use. Hope this helps. There are also some old posts on this topic.

Re: Insalling washdown pump
I've now done this to 2 Tritoons, mine and a friend's. If you do it right and get a good washdown pump mine is west marine, 5 GPM @ about 40PSI you will be happy with the results, bilge pumps and livewell pumps won't get it, you get a low pressure useless stream of water. you'll need a plastic container, the pump https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00SF58F68/re ...

That makes sense! Clean install.

Re: Insalling washdown pump
The first time I had seen a wash down was on a charter boat we were on in Lake Superior. I thought what a cool idea!
Not really sure what this guy had for a pump but when you turn it on you could use a spigot to just wash your hands or put out a boat fire with the hose.
Damn that this could shoot far. I kinda wondered if he had gotten that pump off a fire boat or naval ship! LOL
Great idea though. I like your setup. Like someone said before me, " Very neat!"
