Please note that we will fix the shower, it just low down on the list. This is very much a project boat. With many other issues needing to be addressed before the shower is fixed. The shower has nearly everything wrong with it, and at this point we will be stripping the head almost completely to redo all the work that is necessary to make it functional. Our solar shower heats up beside the shower outside and runs into through a port holes now to assist us with getting clean. Is it perfect, no. Does it work, yes. That's all that really matters in the end.

Two of the most horrifying words in the English language:

Project

and

Boat

Sounds like you've got a valid plan

I have a cockpit shower in my boat, it was easy to install, cost like $150 bucks for the shower-head, and probably another 60 bucks in plumbing stuff to get it tied into the system.

I did hook it up to hot water. Now that I have had it every boat I ever have in the future will have one as well. It is nice showering in the cockpit rather than inside it keeps the steam out.
