Our anchor area doesn't have a saltwater washdown capability and I'm looking for some pump suggestions.
What I'd like is a temporary solution that uses a 120v AC pump with a small hose that I can put overboard through a hawsehole as a water intake. The lift needed for the water intake is about 3 feet. It would then need to provide 10 feet of lift to the fo'c's'le of the bow. I'd like 60 PSI of water flow up on the foc's'ile. I'd like both intake and outflow hoses to be normal garden hose fittings but that's easy to add/change if they are standard pipe fittings. The key is, it needs to be a strong AC pump that doesn't need to be primed and can both draw from the intake side and lift for the outflow side.
Anyone know of a pump that fits this?
If it works well, I'll eventually install the pump with a thru hull. The boat has AC everywhere and adding the pump would be pretty simple. There's a fo'c's'le plug on deck for a hose connection making that part simple too.
