Washdown system setup

[abl1111]

Jabsco Par 4 is a great pump ( ITT Industries ). I have used one pump on several boats, for two purposes; washdown and livewell. For a washdown, I use it w/ a 15'-20' coil hose and a cheap $1.99 plastic nozzle - pressure is great.

As a livewell, it is perfect for moving the water in my 25 gallon livewell. I have no complaints about the pump.

Each winter, if you have to deal w/ freezing, just unclamp/disconnect the raw water hose at the raw water valve and place it into a bucket of boat/RV antifreeze. Turn pump on until anitfreeze comes out. Oila - pump winterized.
