New Found Metals Deck Wash Angle Connector(s) purchased - 2017

New Found Metals American Standard Deck Wash Angle Connector.  We have the old straight version of these and know that these new curved ones with the handle will work better for us so we purchased two.

November 2017 - Tied up in Marina Mazatlán, Mexico

We are currently house sitting in University Heights, San Diego CA

Deck Wash Down. These older ones are hard on the hands at times.

We have these older ones which came with the straight blue hose connectors.  Two Deck Wash Downs that we purchased years ago.

This works good but is hard on the hands connecting it.

Here we can change from salt water to fresh water. We usually use fresh water as we have a water maker and fresh water is better for everything.

This one is in our anchor locker and we use it to wash down our chain\rode when it is coming up and the anchor.

We can also use it for the paddle board when we are done with it to wash off the salt water. The newer Deck Wash Angle Connector will be easier to connect and use.

We use this one to wash off the saltwater after swimming or diving

to clean the bottom and dive gear and just plain old take a cool shower.

And yet more parts checked off the US buy list for the next

cruising season on s\v Elegant'sea!
