Spent time on google but not very successful..

Thinking you might get loads more bang for the buck and pressure with a (sea water) 240v wash down pump running off the inverter rather than 12v.... Not so sure now though...

Anyone done similar, links to the pump?

We use the watermaker boost pump as a deck wash down pump as well. Its a Stuart Turner k9. About 250w. Reasonable water flow but needs a flooded head being a centrifugal pump

Loads of 220v submersible pumps around, typical one here - ELECTRIC SUBMERSIBLE PUMP FOR CLEAN OR DIRTY WATER - FLOOD/POOL/GARDEN/WELL/POND 5013478140975 | eBay

We have a 12v washdown saltwater pump which gives reasonable pressure (can't advise make it's buried under locker floor) but if really bad, use small Karcher powered by Honda and water via deck wash pump, then rinse through with potable from galley tap.

But add seawater to the search then x 10 the prices....
Not after a submersible but washdown pump so will be fed from a seacock.
Not gonna happen don't think. 12v it probably is but always worth an ask :)
