Coolest new thing for the boat

[cyclone]

This is the latest thing I have added to my boat, yes, it is from Bass Pro Shops. On board 20 amp charger. It charges both sides, the accessory battery bank and the starting battery, at the same time.

Nice, Pete.

What do you think about a second (redundant) bilge pump?

Or one of those hose attachments so that you don't have to get under the boat with thte Fake-a-Lake?

A second bilge pump is not a bad idea. As for a Fake a Lake, I made one from a toilet plunger but I don't use it. I just stick the hose right into the water hose after the strainer.

HOW IT WORKS Flush Pro permanently installs in-line with the hose leading to your boat?s impeller pump. When you want to flush your boat, simply remove the Flush Pro cap, attach a garden hose, turn on the water and start the engine. Flush Pro automatically responds to the water pressure from the hose. The double valve system closes the hull intake and allows the hose water to circulate. When you?re finished, remove the hose and replace the cap. It?s that easy! And don?t worry, Flush Pro also closes automatically when the garden hose is removed to prevent water from entering your boat if you forget to replace the cap!
FEATURES: Flush your boat engine safely and easily.Transparent so you can monitor waterflow. Durable check valve system activated by water pressure from a garden hose. Check valve automatically shuts off hull intake when water pressure is applied.Check valve prevents water from entering boat even if you forget to replace Flush Pro cap after flushing.Tune up and change oil easily at your convenience. Winterize your boat with adapter by running antifreeze from a bucket into the Flush Pro system. Available for standard 1 inch or 1 1/4 inch hose sizes.



You could also use an extension to a bulkhead fitting so that you wouldn't have to open the hatch or climb up on the boat or trailer.

This looks way cool. Though I note not a lot of reaction from the crowd.  Anyone have any idea if this is a good idea - or are fake-a-lakes just too much fun?

[toyotafreak]

Yeah, lots of fun. Ths weekend I got to climb under the boat to plunger the plunger. Hey, once a year I can do lots of stuff.

I have a friend with a Moomba that has this flush set up. It is good for flushing but you can not add antifreeze with this devise. It needs pressure to open the check valve. It would be great if you could figure out a way to get antifreeze into the pressure flow.
