[cannonford57]

hello everyone,just aquired a 25 ft cuddy,an older sunrunner...dont know if its a blessing or a cussing in my future since its the biggest vessel i've owned...kinda learning as i go so be patient with da new guy....does anyone make a transom shower that relies on engine heated water?its the 5.7 mercruiser package.seen them on some ski boats i believe but my question is how is it plumbed and does it require another water pump.any help or direction would be greatly appreciated...

Re: cruiser shower system

Your going to have put in a hot water holding tank. You don't want to use the shower with the engine running. Pipe the how water from the engine before it leaves trough the exhaust to the holding tank. From the holding tank, your going to need a separate pump to shower yourself with.
