Here is a nice modification that has worked real well for us for years. We use a 5 gallon solar shower and keep it tied down on deck right next to the head deck hatch. Then we cut the stock hose and extended it to easily reach into the shower when seated. This way, we never have to move the solar shower, it remains in place. With the extended hose, we can then use this while seated in the shower or while standing. The other process that we have worked out, it filling this 5 gallons. We use to untie it, carry it back to the cockpit shower then fill it and carry it back on deck. NOPE, not any more, now we simply use the head shower hose, remove the shower nozzle and pass the shower hose up to the deck, and fill the solar shower IN PLACE! WORKS great. Here is a photo of the modified hose and the solar shower in place on the deck next to the head hatch on the IP35.

Yes, i have a glitch with the attached files and images that were in the forum over a year. Whrn i upgraded the forum o the newest version the posts tht had images or files attached lost the connection to the source files. The source files are all there but the links did not convert correctly. So i have some work to fix that.

The image for this illustrated how to attach a longer hose onto the solar shower so it would reach into the head. Simple addition. I will look for the image and add it again.

Here is the image that was broken above. I need to solve this for the 17 other posts that lost their connections.
