This compact Tiger deck shower from the Elissa series is designed for systems with cold or pre-mixed water where a built-in mixer is not required. With its all-stainless housing, it carries the premium qualities of the larger Elissa models but in a smaller form factor, suitable for boats with limited installation space. The housing and lid are made of corrosion-resistant AISI 316 stainless steel, ensuring longevity and a sleek appearance. The lid closes tightly and the construction includes anti-vibration features – you won’t hear rattling or clanking while underway.
The Tiger shower head provides all the benefits of stainless steel – it’s robust, resistant to heat and chemicals, and delivers a strong, focused spray for effective rinsing. An anti-vibration gasket at the head’s connection prevents unwanted movement and ensures smooth operation. This model comes standard with a 2.5 m reinforced PVC hose, sufficient for most needs (e.g., rinsing the transom or deck). If necessary, you can opt for a 4 m hose or a stainless steel braided hose for additional strength, which is particularly useful on larger boats.
Installation of the Elissa Tiger (non-mixer version) requires only a small cutout – approximately 90 × 70 mm – making it easy to fit even in tight spots. The external lid dimensions are 118 × 97 mm, and its low-profile, polished finish adds an elegant touch to the deck or bulkhead where it’s mounted. Without a mixer inside, the interior of the box is straightforward and installation is simplified. You only need to connect it to a single cold water feed or a pre-mixed supply line if your boat has centralized mixing.
The Elissa series in the compact 118×97 mm size includes several shower head options, all using the same stainless steel housing. The Tiger model stands out with a metal shower head and a focus on maximum durability – ideal for those who prioritize toughness. Alternatively, for users who prefer a wider spray, the series offers a Keji model (same housing, but with a chromed plastic head) and a Keji II model with an even larger head. These options are sold separately but allow the same easy integration into the Elissa box. With Elissa showers, you have the freedom to choose the optimal combination of materials and features for your boat.
Use Cases & Recommendations:
- Small to Mid-Size Boats (5–10 m): Perfect for boats that do not have a hot water system on board but want a quality deck shower. For example, fishing boats, day cruisers, or sailing yachts around 30 feet where only cold water is available – the Tiger shower provides strength and longevity in these conditions.
- Saltwater or Freshwater Rinsing: Thanks to the stainless construction, this shower can be used with saltwater (if connected to a raw-water pump) without worry of corrosion. It’s suitable for rinsing dive gear, washing down the deck after fishing, or other activities where using seawater is practical.
- Installation in Tight Spaces: Due to its small cutout size, the shower can be fitted into countertops, small cockpits, or the transom area of boats where space is at a premium. The compact lid won’t get in the way and installs neatly, providing easy access to a shower when needed.
- Simple Operation & Maintenance: With no mixer, the unit is simpler and highly reliable – fewer parts mean minimal upkeep. It’s recommended for owners who want a functional shower without complexity. Paired with a one-step pump or pressurized system, you get instant water when the system is on.
- Equipment Upgrade: The Tiger model can serve as an upgrade to outdated deck showers with plastic housings. If your boat has an old shower that leaks or has become unsightly, the stainless Elissa Tiger is an excellent replacement, bringing improved looks and reliability.
