I found it on Amazon.
I tested it and it puts out a lot of water, the siphon hose that I am testing with is 10ft long.
imo it looks and feels like a well made unit.
No, I do not have an issue posting photos.
I had them up loaded into a free host called (post image).
If I go to my pictures folder they come out as photo's, like this.
New (23) from $162.63 & FREE Shipping.
My holding tank size is determined by the body of water we are on. I grab it from there.
I did not put it in to use as a shower per say, my main purpose was to clean off the bugs that spend the night with me when a stay on the hook with my masthead light on. I hope that I will never need it, but I could use it as a second bilge pump.

My boat came with a 30 gallon holding tank for the shower on the back deck and the sink in the mid cuddy. I found 30 gallon of fresh water was huge overkill for our use. That was the reason for my question. I'm thinking of a 5 or 6 gallon container for fresh water. Like you said not for showering but for cleaning feet or a mess on swim platform or using in the sink in the cuddy cabin.
Not sure if the pump was in the holding tank or if it's somewhere hiding on the boat. The power switch for it is in the cuddy but afraid the pump is gone along with the big ass holding tank. Will tear into this in the spring.

Hi Doc, glad to here you got your water holding tank. Where did you mount it? Have never needed a lot of pure water while on the water, have always carried small bottles, kind of use and loose, plus they were always fresh. I still do carry a gallon, just in case.
Short story down memory lane. Way back in the day before I owned a boat, we would rent a cottage for the week. And my sister's idea of a shower was to get a bar of Ivory Soap (because it floated) and take her bath in the lake. Cottages back then were not like the homes on the lake today. But they were all part of the adventure and the memories.

Bathing and for the head. No drinking that water. Its all on how you use your boat.
I mounted the small holding tank under the rear seat. Same area the bigger tank used to be prior to me owning the boat. Previous owner removed it to accomodate a bass woofer and two regular speakers.
We only use the water for spraying off the swim platform or washing stuff found by my wife with her magnet fishing. Only have to fill it once or twice a season.

At my dad’s cottage along Lake Erie in Canada was the same policy. Wash in the lake. But they did have an indoor shower. Heavy duty sulfur stink. Eventually they got various filters which made it tolerable.Hi Doc, glad to here you got your water holding tank. Where did you mount it?

Thanks Doc for reposting this thread, it brings back a lot of good memories of things that members have posted.
Back in 92 when I first got my girl, in my Mercruiser owners manual it said that my engine would run on 87 octane. But to be guaranteed 87 octane, I should use 89 octane, so I have all these 33 years. My 1st couple of years 89 was 10 cents per gal more than 87, so far this year I have paid between 60, 70, and 80 cents per gal more. And back then there was no Ethanol in it. I have always filled up on land, and the season of 93 my average cost $1.18.3 per gal. I just paid $3.39.9 per gal. My girl is starting acquiring some expensive tastes. But for all the memories we have shared, she is will worth it.
Hopefully we can get some new interest and posts.
It would be nice to hear about some new places and adventures.
Maybe someone out there has bought their girl a new present or 2.
Or just gave her a good bath.

Denny, this thread has me excited to update the thread about my boat--or "girl," as you put it. I have done some major gelcoat repairs in the last two years which are now done and the results are 9/10, so I am thrilled with them. I also fixed the riveted hull/deck joint, rewedded the leaking stern eyes, and replaced the rubrail insert. All in all, it was a huge project.Thanks Doc for reposting this thread, it brings back a lot of good memories of things that members have posted.

I also added a new stereo and speakers, fixed the broken windshield, and more. We are getting ready to take a major trip with her on the Great Lakes and I am over the moon excited! Will update you all soon. Really miss the old Chap forum!
Hey Drew, thank you for the post. Sounds like you really have it together. Even the pros don't get the color perfect, but 20 ft away you will never see the difference. It would be neet to see before and after if you have any pictures. Curious, which of (my) Great Lakes are you going to visit?
The one that I know very little about is Lake Ontario. And I am sure that there are others out there that can be helpful if you are looking for any info. You have picked the best month to do it in. Here is wishing you safe travels and good water.
We have a good mixture of Chap people here. Some old and some new. We are dealing in Quality, not Quantity. And you will not find a better caregiver than Doc. He even made a special space for us. For me it is not about Chaparral, it is about the people that own them. Plus now we have other boaters that own different boats that are part of the family. It's all good.
