Hello,

I have a 1991 Fisherman and saw that one of the original factory options is a salt water washdown. I do a great deal of fishing and would benefit greatly from such a feature. How difficult would it be to add this on? Is this even possible? Cost, etc. ?

Thanks in advance!

Grady uses a Shurflo Baitmaster Pro for washdown.
You'll need a thru hull seacock, hose, hose bibb & misc electrical connections including switch, fuse and TINNED wire of appropriate size. Heat shrink all electrical connections.

If you are a competant DIYer, the only part of the job you may cringe is drilling several holes through the bottom of the hull, the rest is straightforward.

It can also double duty a a live well feed for as little as 18 bucks for Y valve plus more hose.
