T&T: Anchor washdown "shower"

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?
