Drive Shower
Why don't i see more people doing this? Seems to me that it would be a whole lot better set up. And how do you plumb it up to do it? Click on the next picture to get a better look at it.http://www.offshoreonly.com/classifi...&f=34080_4.jpg

im having a hard time seeing where the water is coming from for the showers. if its coming out of the engines i would think thats defeating the purpose because the water is already hot.

I think that it would work a hell of alot better than a drive shower that has a pick up. It is only going to increase water as the rpm's increase. I was hoping that someone would have some pictures of how they did it and what size hose they used.

Those are engine pickups, should feed a strainer then through the raw water pump. If you lengthen those slightly you can get about 100 psi water pressure at speed if you want it. (you don't)

If you have enough water pressure that you can dump some off, yes. But adding a pickup will kind of defeat the purpose. The one negative with showers is they slow the boat down. I lost about 2 mph when I put the Simreks on my 311. Any protrusion from the hull or cavitation plates on the drives will scrub off speed. So if you can get water without adding another protrusion it is free speed.
