Whale Twist Deck Shower - Stern shower - 2011

In search of a stern shower we came across this one. Now to see how difficult, if at all, it will be plumbing the Whale system to our existing system. 
July 2011 - Currently at Marina Kona Kai  Shelter Island San Diego, CA 


We are not going to re-plumb our boat to the Whale system. As it may be nice it is just not necessary for us to re-plumb the boat. This seems to take up minimal room and would sit on the side of the stern lazarett by the stern steps. We will need to see if the 5 + inches it angles out into the lazarett will be a problem when storing gear there versus a shower in a box. The box may be more protected but may not be. Just will need to take a look see :) This shower only requires a small hole to be drilled not a big cut out like a box shower. 
 It is sold at defender.com among other places.
