Own a boat with a bait board?

The other day iwas down at one of them car washing bays when i seen the greatest idea on this guys boat that was next to me. You know the little taps you see in caravans that when you pump them up and down the water comes out, uselly located in the sink for pumping up fresh water if needed. This guy had fitted one to his bait board and ran the hose directly off the bottom of it and by the looks he places the hose in the water when fishing to pump it up to either wash his bait board down or fill his esky to make a ice slurry. He had it plumbed straight into the side of the bait board so it was sticking straight up! Proberly not a new idea but one i thought worth mensioning.

we use a deckwash to clean down our baitboard and fill the esk, then wash the boat when we get back with fresh water.
