You can install a conventional house shower unit on a boat, right ? Or do you need a special boat one ?
Erm, not really. Depends what you mean by 'conventional house shower' (electric? Pumped? Boiler fed, UVC fed?)- none of these options really work on a boat where you don't have space for a huge hot water tank or a gas boiler, and a 9kW electric shower is likely to be well beyond the capacity of your shorepower connection.
Plus, having a shower aboard fills your boat with condensation. Most people find it better to use shoreside facilities, or adapt expectations and use a tin mug in the sink (not as bad as it sounds, honest).
