after a successful trip out last week and getting squid ink on the side of the gunnels i was thinking of putting in a deck wash.

My boat has a through hull pick up, I fitted a deck was to my last boat using the bla stainless pick up cutting a 1” hole in my transom, my first boat had a pump mounted outside the boat it was a bilge pump really used as a source for deck wash and live bait aerator.

Bilge pump sounds good idea

It was ok but not as good as a deck wash pump the one fitted to my boat is repairable great pressure

I might have a pick up bracket in my garage I will have a look tomorrow if I find it you can have it if you want it

Cool thanks.
Greatly appreciated

Whats better as a deck wash
A live bait pump ?
Or a bilge pump ?
Would you get enoughwater pressure from them?

Or depends on the specific of each pump

Here is the one I had originally fitted to my streaker it had a bilge pump mounted on top of the pick up

The biggest difference bilge pumps normally have to be submerged in water there are some that are remote. A deck wash usually has a pick up and shut off
