I’m curious if anyone has a good solution for storing or securing a washdown hose on the boat. My 325 has a freshwater spigot up in the bow area. I plan to use it for washing salt spray off the windshield between legs of trips and washing of the rode and anchor as I pull it in. I currently have a coiled hose with a spray nozzle that I could simply mount a hook in the area to hang it on. Wondering if anybody has found a better idea or a decent product for this purpose

You may want to look a a short collapsable hose "As Seen ON TV". They work well but don't last more than a season. Put quick connects on it and store in anchor locker. We use it on the 56' "Nasty Habit" to wash the boat down as we clear the inlet. No soap - it removes the wax.
I use a slinky hose in the cockpit for washdown. It's really a pain because lines are constantly getting snatched up in it. Especially when kite fishing with live bait. I probably switch to a short regular hose

You could install one of these in a handy place.
