So, I'm thinking of installing a shower. Is it easy? Just something to wash off the cold, and possibly wash out the hair (for the ladies) when we are remote Camping...
Anyone have any good ideas on a type? or what have you installed?

Drewsky - I'll be installing one of these probably later this year. They are awesome. I have a buddy who had one on his old boat, and it was the best. Fill up your wetsuit on those cold days with warm water, and it can't be beat.
I'm going to go with this one:

It looks to be a fairly easy install. I think the two hardest parts will be mounting the pump and the valve in an inconspicuous place.
Much of that can be sourced at your local hardware store for a little less money. Of course, then you have to figure out how to make it work. Remember, it pulls water from the lake (river, etc) so washing of the hair is not like your shower at home.
Ohhh, don't worry, I know that... but they don't.. :) Warm water to them is a fresh clean shower.. :)
I'm kinda thinking I could source it from Home Depot now.. I mean at 300 bux to wash your hair, that's a bit much.. We rarely have a cold day here in California.. LOL
A pump works for the cold water, but how do i get hot water? tap off the engine cooling lines?
Wayne,
When you have time to spare, can you snap some photo's of your shower and where it's located/installed, where the shower head is at, and the cold/hot knobs. I was toying around with the idea of installing one as well as a heater in my DD to lengthen the season here. It's so damn short now I gotta do something :) Just didn't know if i have the room?
I'm putting one in for a friend later this week. I'll snap some photos along the way.
Btw I wouldn't have a boat w/o a shower. Sandy kids and early morning showers is all I have to say.:p
