T&T: Anchor washdown "shower"

[Truelove39 at aol.com]

Hi  gents -
 
No  sense in re-inventing the wheel. The French figured this out years ago. 
Find an  Amel Super Maramu (ketch-rigged 53' sailboat - white with brown 
plastic teak) at  your favorite marina, buy the owner a beer and ask for a demo.

>  I'm trying to figure out a way to add a shower for the anchor chain that  
would direct a spray of water more or less at the roller on the anchor  
platform so I wouldn't have to hold a hose nozzle while bringing in the  
chain. That would let me concentrate on getting the anchor to fall into  
the chain locker without creating a hockle, etc. The salt water washdown  
system is already in place; I'd just need to connect the outlet via a  
flexible/removable hose to the "shower head" before turning on the pump.  
I'm thinking that PVC would work and could be easily replaced if  broken.

Have any of you fabricated a unit that works well for you? How  did you 
fasten it so it stays aimed at the right  spot?
