Dual stainless sink with salt spigot for the left basin and fresh for the right. It's a great setup. Also have a fresh water foot pump at the head sink. With this setup, I hardly ever use the 12 volt water pump.

The foot pump salt water line is taken off the raw water intake in the engine room with it's own dedicated T valve mounted on the bulkhead. It can be flushed out with fresh water for boat storage/layup.

Did I get that right?

Did you T off the intake at the through hull or inline on the hose?

However I have to admit to having a knock off of a whale foot pump with no branding on it. So I couldn't tell you where to find it. I have never installed is so couldn't speak to function.

Any suggestions as to make, model, location, etc?
