Nice. I was looking into doing the same exact thing recently, but took the lazy route and grabbed a portable washer off ebay for $100.

What did you power it with? SLA battery or car cigarette adapter? Can't tell from the pic, but it looks like its got the connector for a battery.
edit*** nevermind, just saw the pic you posted above.


Mine came with a car adapter only which is fine for now, but I want to rig up a female cigarette lighter adapter so I can run it off an extra SLA battery I have.

My primary source will be my LiFeP04 battery. I am in the process of rigging something that will help me run the wash down system off of my truck battery, it'll be something simple like a cord running to the lighter but I will only use this if I need to preserve the battery life on my LiFeP04 battery.

Liquid nails? You used construction adhesive on your kayak?

Oh oh is that bad? It's only on the hatch part. I can probably still take it off

You gotta be carefully with chemical adhesives and poly plastics. Could cause a reaction

If it sticks then it should be ok. PE and PP are one of the most inert and chemically stable materials out there. Just to paint a picture, they store very strong acides in PE bottles.

Thanks. It held very well and I can cut up squid a lot easier than. On the wet cardboard it comes in.

Random useless information: Some surgical mesh like that used for hernia repair is made from PP partly because it is inert and stable in the body. I may or may not be part human, part kayak.

[jorluivil]

lets see if I remember.....

$140 for the pump (westmarine 4.0 GPM washdown pump)
$75 for tank (tank-depot 7 gallon flat bottom tank)
$50 additional parts (polyethylene glue, elbows, etc)

I know I know, its a bit pricey. Some guys are probably saying, 'no effen way I'm paying $300 for a wash down system when I could buy one for $30'. To those that may say that I say......................enjoy your insecticide sprayer.

Regardless of this my kayak hasn't exploded yet but if it doss I hope its in my garage lol. next time I glue anything it will be marine goop. That's what I wanted to use but just didn't have it at the time.

Getting tired of snagging sabiki, treble, and most other hooks on the side pockets. First prototype (out of cutting board plastic).

We'll see...

Go detail a few cars with that thing and it'll pay for itself

That is really cool! I keep having the same problem 99cent store here I come.

I'm tired of sucking up eel grass, whale semen, and whatever else is floating around in LJ...So I found a solution on here.
I know this has been done before, but I remember the previous post had the mesh screen inside the end of bottom black piece. I thought this method was much more easy to do instead trying to form and shove the mesh inside the black piece. Works great!

OR nylon lint trap 2 pack. $1.79

Works excellent.
