You will probably have to buy the stuff separately depending on what you want.
Boatfix should have it all.

West Marine as well

yea, i was looking around on there, but couldnt tell what was what. i like the small aft shower head that hides away, but i couldnt find the pump, and tank. i was hoping they had something alltogether that you could just order it, install and go from there. like a universal set up ready to go

I did this on my 29 Baja Outlaw. Got all the stuff from Boat fix and West Marine.

Hardest part was finding a place to mount the tank. I used a wash down pump that did come with a coiled hose and nozzle. Also got a quick disconnect to mount on the transom.
Very handy. System works well, but I would like more storage. I was only able to fit a 9 gallon tank. If you need more details just let me know and I can help.

yea, pics and part numbers would be great. i already have a pump that goes threw hull (boat used to be fresh water boat, we used it to wash the boat as it was parked near trees and the dock had no water) so i was thinking 3 way valve and a tank. what tank did you buy?

I added a fresh water wash down to my boat a while ago and used a ballast sac like they use for wake boarding. Added a quick release to the tubing so I can easily remove the tank if I want the storage vs. water tank. As you use he water outta it the bag collapses, works nicely and easier then hard tank IMO.

Best thing to do is go to www.westmarine.com and on the home page, same line as the search box, is a place to "Request a Catalog" When you get the catalog page 333 has a selection of hard tanks in 9 different sizes. Same page has the soft tanks "Happy Hour" mentioned.

What I did was first find a place to mount the tank and pump. That space determined the size I could fit. I ended up with a 9 gal tank. Page 353 has the 3 way valve. Page 323 has the quick connect for the hose that I used.

You can find some tanks on the web site, but not the same selection as in the catalog. As I said, I think you need to find a spot to put the tank, measure it and see what tank will fit.

All the fittings and other stuff you will need is in the catalog, just use the index.

Good luck.
