I was out in my Aunt's pontoon boat last weekend and it was hot as ****. For most of us we just jump in to cool off or whatever but my Aunt is in a wheelchair so her cool-off methods are limited.
I got to thinking it would probably be fairly easy to DIY a water mist system in their bimini to help keep the back half of the boat shaded and cool, but the front is still open to the sun.
My thoughts:
* Hose + filter to lake to pull water (or use a hidden 5-gallon pale or something as a reservoir) for supply water
* Wire a RV Water pump to move the water and hold a fair amount of pressure in the line(s) to get a good mist rather than a dribble -
Example of Pump
* Pump supplies water to a "patio mist" kit from amazon. I figured 4-8 mist heads under the bimini section of the boat. Perhaps pipe more to the bow with some isolation valves. Example of a mist kit -

.... anyone have input on if this would work? any reason 45 psi wouldn't be enough pressure to get a mist vs. a dribble.
