If you have an existing generator or salt water toilet intake
through-hull you could conceivably T into its hose from with an in-line
valve you could open when you want to use the hose-down nozzle.  May not
be as convenient as a self-plumbed washdown pump (although we keep the
seacock to ours closed except when we're going to us it so it still
involves a trip to the engine room).
