Appreciate all the replies. Lots of good info here.

Sprayers, buckets, sponges, washdown kits back at the truck...all really solid ideas.

However - my situation is quite unique, I love marine plumbing, I love kayak projects AND I am a bit crazy...so I am going for it.

I picked up a Jabsco Par Max 3GPM pump today. Ultimate goal will be to have this thing serve as an emergency bilge pump, a washdown pump and an on demand live-well pump/aerator if needed.

So I think if I do it right, I can get three practical kayak applications out of one pump. Worst case I abandon the project and make a portable spray kit for my truck.

The thing only weights 3.5 pounds so its not even that heavy.

I'm going to take the weekend to meticulously plan out the plumbing, electrical and routing of various things and only will proceed if it gives me all the advantages I want and involves minimal risk to the hull and integrity of the craft.

I'll post in the innovations thread if it works out!
