    adding a wash down

    I have a 20 escape that has a "wash down" on the aft side, as shown in the drawing. however, their wash down is more of a sink that folds out. I would love to replace it with a true hose type wash down so that I can rinse boat off while fishing. i care much more about the boat than my...
