Not a shower, but just a foot wash. Turn a switch on and water sprays out to clean your feet before you get in the boat. My dads 26' Ultra Shadow Deck has it & I would like to see about doing it on my Mondo.

Looks like this (I took it off Ultras website so it's grainy and zoomed in)

You can see the rocker switch and a nipple on the sponson that shoots out water. It's awesome!

I can't find anything about this though. Google didn't help...

I just take my shoes off when I get inside the boat.

Cool Idea, i usually push the boat off the beach by hand, spin it around and get on from the platform wi the one last dunk in the seen water to clean any sand off

You wear shoes on the beach?

I was thinking about doing that but a lot of times it's so crowded you can't spin the boat around you would have to back in.


I'm thinking of doing this for the time you need to grab a beer or your phone etc. sometimes you don't want to swim to the back & I don't want to carry some ugly step stool. Now I just make my wife get in but I have to pick her up while she washes her feet in the water and help her in lol

I'm confused on the scenario ... are you pulling the bow up onto the beach and crawling over the front to get in? Then powering off the beach?

I think you will find many inboard owners anchor in the shallow water opposed to "beaching" it.

... especilally after you get your stereo installed, then you have the speakers facing you on the beach.

"You wear shoes on the beach?"

I do - you never know when your gonna jump outta da boat and onto a nice piece of Budweiser bottle.

I'm one of those guys who treats a boat like a boat. Don't care if it gets dirty, beer spilled in it or people walk on the upholstery wearing shoes.

I just hose the interior down when I get home

is that a loaded question? LOL
I'd use whatever swivel clamp option that your brand of speaker was designed to work with!!!
I know exile and wetsounds have them. Not sure about kicker or others.

I can't find any info on the bow nose sprayer your talking about.

How ever, if I was to do what your thinking I would go more towards the shower hose route.

Exp, you want fresh water but in the bow, so run a hose from the engine bay to the bow, with a sprayer head on it.
To make it work, you need to just T off the fresh water intake, you can buy a small pipe with a T fitting at HD, then put a 1/4 turn valve on it.

This way when you beach up, you open the 1/4 turn, the weight of the boat will pressurize the line enough to use it.
