I installed a washdown pump in the bow to help with getting the mud and debris off the anchor rode as the anchor is being retrieved. It was originally mounted, in the position shown, on the shelf just under the windlass. This was a mistake! Pumps push water much better than they lift water, so I remounted the pump under the V berth at or near the waterline. Since I boat on the Great Lakes and we are not allowed to have macerators, I used the through hull for the forward macerator as the intake for the pump. It gets 12V power from the same source as the windlass with an in-line fuse specifically for the pump. The output goes into the anchor locker as shown in the second picture and the hose is connected and stored as shown in the last pictrue. It's easy enough to hang the coiled hose over the lifelines to get it out of the way when dealing with the anchor rode. There is also a switch under the cleat, which can't be seen in this picture, to shut off power to the pump so that it can't be run accidentally. You'll also notice that the bitter ends of both anchor rodes are cleated off! You'll only make that mistake once!
