Any ideas on how or where would be the best place to tap into the live well water pump to make a wash down on a 2003 192 tournament ?
appreciate any and all ideas.

Depending on the livewell pump you currently have, it might be inadequate for washdown duty. Instead, you might want to split the water line after the seacock and install a dedicated washdown pump. Check the specs on your livewell pump - a washdown is usually in the neighborhood of 4 to 5 gpm.

But, to answer your question, tap into the line where ever it's the most convenient for you. As long as it's after the seacock and before the actual livewell, it doesn't matter.

This is what i used in my previous 228, screws on your seacock and has another outlet that you can hook on to it then run a dedicated washdown pump.
Livewell pumps should be high volume low pressure and low amp. Washdown you need high pressure low volume and they are high amp but only used for short time so you don't run your battery down.

Thanks you. That answers my real question.
The livewell pump is not the correct pump for a washdown!
again Thanx
