Home Built Shower
4 Attachment(s)
My current boat did not have a hot water shower, so I started looking around at parts to build one. After about $125 in parts I finally got to test it out yesterday. It worked great! Now that I know it works I have a little clean up to do and make it look a little nicer.

Nice work dude. How about a short thread on your install? What parts ETC ETC?
|
Great DIY, good job!
|
This may be a dumb question, but where did you tie it into to get the hot water?
|
A few weeks back I added a quick connect to the heater hose coming from the intake. I then added a tee for the shower just below the fitting and pull hot water from the heater hose.
|
What pump did you use and where did you get it.
|
looks like a water puppy in the last pic b/w the Y and the shower head.
|
I tought it looked alittle small to be a water puppy, Also dosen't the water pup cost more than the 150 he said he spent?
|
kinda looks like a flojet pump
|
I used a Shurflo Demand pump for mine. I bought it a the local RV supply store from the returns bin for $25. I got a 3.5 gallon per minute pump and would say that its plenty of volume and power.
|
I have one of those old May Fair pump (I think thats what its call) used to fill fat sac's. Would that work or does it need to self prime.
|
The pump is a flo-jet 2.9 gpm and it has plenty of volume. Here is the link to where I purchased. Based on the searches I did this pump was hard to beat at $49.

Here are a couple of additional thoughts/comments: I did have some trouble finding the cold water T and the shipping was way more than the part! I could have built my own hot/cold hoses, but I could not do it for the $14 the pre-made hoses cost. Plus the red and blue make it easy to figure out hot and cold adjustments at the Y. It was a lot cheaper than a shower from heatercraft and I like doing projects like this...especially after I find out it works. |
where did you get the hot and cold hoses from?
