Seachoice Wash Down Pumps & Systems
Seachoice Wash Down Pumps & Systems: Built for Life on the Water
Keeping a boat clean is more than cosmetic maintenance — salt, grime, bait residue, and marine debris can accelerate corrosion, degrade surfaces, and compromise the longevity of your vessel. That's where a purpose-built marine wash down system earns its keep. Seachoice, a brand with deep roots in the marine industry since 1988, brings its reputation for quality OEM-grade hardware to the Wash Down Pumps & Systems category with a practical, feature-rich solution designed specifically for boaters.
The Seachoice Wash Down System
Seachoice's wash down offering centers on a 12V DC pump system engineered with the demands of marine environments in mind. Running on a 120-watt, 12V DC motor with built-in thermal protection, the pump delivers strong, reliable flow — up to 5.2 GPM at 70 PSI — making it capable of handling everything from a quick deck rinse to thorough anchor locker cleanouts.
One standout feature is the integrated pressure switch, which automatically activates the pump when the spray nozzle is opened and shuts it off when closed. This hands-free operation is a genuine quality-of-life improvement for solo boaters or anyone managing multiple tasks on deck. The pump is also self-priming and designed to run dry without damage — a critical safeguard in marine plumbing where air locks and fluctuating water supply are routine challenges.
What's Included in the Kit
Seachoice offers complete wash down pump kits that bundle everything needed for a straightforward installation. A typical kit includes:
- A 25-foot coiled hose (1/2" I.D.) for broad deck coverage
- A bulkhead fitting with valve for clean through-hull integration
- The proprietary PUMProtector™ inlet strainer to safeguard the pump from debris ingestion
- A spray nozzle with integrated check valve to prevent backflow
- 2-way panel switches for convenient on/off control from the helm or deck
The nylon pump body resists the corrosive marine environment, and the maximum suction depth of 8.2 feet offers flexibility in installation placement. Multiple connection configurations — including 3/8" BSP, 1/2" NPT, and 3/4" GHT — ensure compatibility with a wide range of boat plumbing setups.
The Seachoice Difference
What sets Seachoice apart in this category is the brand's philosophy of delivering complete, ready-to-install solutions without compromise. Rather than requiring boaters to source individual components, Seachoice packages a cohesive wash down system that's engineered to work together from day one. This aligns with the brand's broader mission: run for and by boaters, with a no-hassle warranty backing every product. The result is a wash down system that's accessible for the weekend boater yet durable enough for serious anglers and liveaboards alike.
Whether you're flushing out a saltwater-soaked bilge area, rinsing down after a day of fishing, or cleaning the anchor chain before it goes below deck, Seachoice's wash down pump system delivers the flow, pressure, and reliability the job demands.
