Washdown Location

[chesapeake18]

I'm adding a washdown to a 2003 180cc. Trying to decide where to put the connection for the hose. The pump will be in the bilge, and thinking of putting the connection to the hose either under the rear seat (easily store hose, but then the rear seat would have to be at least cracked open to use it, risking exposing the battery to water) or in the transom well and would just need to hook up hose when I want to use it. Another option would be starboard livewell, which is currently just a fishbox, but not sure how hard it would be to access a high point in there from the bilge to install the connection point (also its curved, not flat).

Anyone know where it was installed as a factory option? Any good ideas for placement?

Thanks!

I'd put it in the transom well, that's where it is on my 220.
