Did you guys see it on the new 32? Sweet!!! Now where the f can I get one. Brian at Dcb said they are making them. I know there are some crafty dudes on this site when it come to machining crap. Someone has to have one. I did not take pics but it looks like the thickness of 2 quarters put together with small holes on the side. Mounts flush on the inside of a sponson to get the sand off your feet. Then to activate it was just a little billet button. It was so clean. Most people could not even figure out what it was. Help!!

It looks like it was just a billet thru-hull fitting and the button activated a pump....should be simple enough.

I dont think its thta hard to do.....you could probably tell Eliminator what you want and they can do it for you. OR.....the easy thing to do would be to just go and buy a DCB. ;)

I have that set up....looks good, and its a great idea. But it doesnt work all that well. too much water pressure, and the streams of water are too far apart. looks good though :cool:

It is extremely simple to do. The hardest part is running the line from your bow back to the rear of the boat. Most places use PVC and glue it together then glass it to the hull. The pickup is in the back and you have to transport the water to the front. Any way you want to do this will work. I have seen some people use garden hoses and they do work. Not the cleanest, but they work.
1) You will need to install a water pickup on the boat (typically on the inside of the tunnel right at the back).
2) You then will mount the pump in the engine compartment.
3) Run the hose from the engine compartment to the front of the boat
4) Run two wires from the location of the push button on the front to the back.
5) Hook up the intake to one side of the pump and the other to the hose for the front.
6) Install the shower on the front and hook up the hose.
7) Install the push button on the front and hook up the wires.
DCB has the trick 5 hole showers that deliver a nice clean stream, but for ease of use and parts that are ready available, Dana Marine makes a fuel vent that works perfect. Two holes approximately 1/8" high by 1/4" long.

This is the type of pump that you will want to use.

You can either use a momentary switch similar to this one

Or you can use a push button like DCB did.

It may sound complicated, but they are actually very easy to install. The hardest part about the whole thing is running the wires and the pipe from the front to the back. Easy when it is being built but with interior it can be a pain.

Just don't forget about the royalties. I think a coctail next time we see each other will work. :p ;)
Let me know if Eliminator cant or won't do it for you. I know some people who might know what they are doing. ;)
