In Response To: Re: A shower (JohnD)

Point well taken John. Capt. Dick, I just use the 8 gallon plastic bag strapped to my tower deck/bridge overhead using a gravity feed. No privacy but if it's calm I just go out on the bow and lather up. Did it this summer down in the Dry Tortugas but weather was in my favor. I have never seen a 31 with a shower in it as a lot of them are in colder climates where that is not a big issue. A fiend of mine put one in his 30 FT. Tolly Craft by simply using the sink fawcet with a shower extension on it. He then hung a shower curtian of which his wife made custom fit.Easy to to connect a hand unit and hang it with a bracket on the bulkhead. The real challange here is to waterproof everything else. I would just use a gravity drain in the lower right aft side of the head deck near the toilet amidships to keep it simple. It can be done but as it's only a 31 and not as many guys do overnighters as larger boats the call for it has been less. But I'm with you . I gotta have a shower especially in the warmer months.Let me know what you come up with. Dave K
