I'm giving very serious consideration to a deck wash pump install. I have a spare thru-hull in the head and room to mount a pump. A length of PEX would feed a quick disconnect near the stern and one in the anchor locker. I would install a 3-way valve so that I could shift suction between seawater to fresh water. A 20' coil hose would then be more than enough to reach the entire boat. Freshwater mode would be used for deck showers, summer water fights and a clean boat rinse when needed. Seawater mode would be for rinsing the anchor and bird poop and maybe to cool the deck on hot summer days.
