    If you want to piss them off, go with a shower. If you want to make them think twice, you're going to need some serious water. A fire hose starts at about 125 GPM. A pump like this

    might get you started, but I'm not sure where you're going to get the power for any kind of pump to put out meaningful water. 2HP is quite a bit of power for your alternator!

    I think you'll probably have to go gas powered for your little project. Check this guy out!

      Tower mounted water balloon sling shots work very well actually. Pretty common to see em out on the 4th.

        not exactly a 'cannon' but it'd be funny to pull one out and chase a jetskier!

              I think the easiest way to accomplish a water cannon, would be a seperate system fro mthe ballast. You could T into the ballast supply line so you dont add and additional thru hull, but then I think you would need a different pump w/ greater pressure than a ballast pump is capable of.

              You could get away without using an additional tank if you start with a larger line going into the new pump and reduce it coming out.

              Should be pretty simple to setup, you would just have to find the right pump.
