Hi new to the page, just bought a 03 SV2100 CC. I see a switch on the console for the Washdown but there is no pump or water connection for it. How hard is it to install and is it worth it?

Welcome and congrats on your Sea pro, washdown is fairly easy to install. Some livewell pumps have an extra outlet below the pump, this is where the inlet to the washdown will hook up. Then you'll need to mount the pump and in tall the outlet where you choose (mine is in the splash well). The wiring is more than likely already in the bilge some where. Definitely worth it if not for washing away dirt and fish blood then for squirting kids  ? |

Congrats on the new boat and Welcome to the forum. I replaced the inlet in my aft livewell with a standard water hose connection and installed my washdown hose in the livewell. It's out of the way and not visible unless I open the lid to the livewell... The down side is most livewell pumps don't supply much pressure and unless you have a VERY high gph livewell pump, or you install a dedicated washdown pump, you might so as I do and use a 5 gallon bucket as your washdown.  |

I love my washdown. I use it at least once a trip.

I bought a 4.0 west marine washdown kit for like $140. It was a great investment and super easy to install. Attachments:

Nice job! emthup and looks like it has plenty of pressure. I may have to install one of those.
