Have you experienced the horrible situation when you want to get under way and your chain/rope and anchor comes up caked in mud and sludge. The smelly stuff makes a big mess on the deck and in the chain locker, but it certainly does not have to be like this, because with a little effort and absolutely no technical skill it is easy to make this portable deck-wash system, and everything can all be cleaned even before it reaches your deck.

 A powerful deck-wash is highly effective for cleaning a dirty anchor/chain/rode, ensuring it passes into the chain locker in a reasonably unsoiled and un-smelly condition and especially important when the chain is stored under the fo’c’sle berth. You can also use this portable system to empty a dinghy after a rainstorm, drain a bilge, or hose the deck and a load of other uses, even in your home.
