The “Tiger” deck shower from the New Edge series is a high-end shower system designed for horizontal installation – on a deck, swim platform, or any flat surface of the boat. With a lid outer size of 88×95 mm (oval shape) and a round cutout of Ø70 mm for recess, this shower box occupies minimal space and sits almost flush with the surface, preventing any tripping or snagging. The New Edge design is modern and low-profile, featuring a smooth white lid that blends aesthetically with any deck.
The standout feature of the “Tiger” variant is the Tiger shower head. It’s made entirely of AISI 316 stainless steel, making it exceptionally resistant to corrosion, impacts, and wear. Tiger is renowned for its ergonomic design and robust lever mechanism – a single motion of the lever opens a full flow, and pushing it back shuts it off. The shower head has a larger face, providing a pleasant, broad water spray (like a “rain” shower), yet it remains water-efficient. The sleek metallic shine also adds a touch of luxury to your yacht’s appearance.
The New Edge housing is built from sturdy engineering plastic (ASA), which is UV-resistant and weatherproof. The lid closes tightly, protecting the shower head and (if applicable) the mixer from spray and dirt. In the case of the “Tiger” kit, the system is typically used with a single water feed – most often a pressurized cold/fresh water line, with flow controlled by the lever on the shower head. This simplifies installation and is ideal for boats without a water heater or for those wanting a straightforward rinse-off shower. (However, the box is compatible with a mixer valve if one is added later.)
The “Tiger” New Edge shower is available with several hose options:
- Reinforced PVC hose – The standard option (e.g., 2.5 m length, code 15.164.00) with white reinforcement, strong enough for high pressure.
- Stainless braided hose – A premium option (e.g., 4 m length with a stainless steel braid) which is even more resistant to abrasion and kinking, and visually complements the Tiger head’s metallic look.
In both cases, the hose stows neatly inside the box when not in use, and the compact internal volume makes coiling the hose easy.
Usage & Recommendations:
- For quick rinse-offs of deck & crew: “Tiger” is perfect for small yachts, runabouts, and fishing boats (5–9 m) where frequent quick rinses with fresh water are needed – whether for yourself, your gear, or the deck itself. The stainless head can withstand rough use and won’t break even if dropped on deck.
- Bow or stern installation: Because of its horizontal design, this box is often mounted in handy spots like near the stern boarding ladder or on the bow deck (to wash off after anchoring). The low-profile lid poses no hindrance and can even be stepped on safely.
- Maximum durability: If you sail in saltwater daily or use your shower heavily (for instance, rinsing dive equipment or during fishing trips), the Tiger head will endure where plastic ones might wear out. Its “forever” stainless construction makes it suitable for charter boats and professional use as well.
- Luxury for the discerning: Opting for the “Tiger” variant is an investment in quality – it gives a premium feel to your boat. Even on smaller vessels, having such a reliable and attractive shower system impresses guests and makes life on board more comfortable.
- Compatibility with other New Edge modules: The New Edge series offers different lids (white, chromed) and can be found with both Tiger and the more economical Niagara head. With “Tiger” you are getting the top model – you can pair it with a chromed lid if you want an all-metallic look, or stick with the classic white lid for contrast.
In summary, the New Edge “Tiger” deck shower is built for those who won’t compromise on quality. With its extremely robust stainless steel shower head, compact form factor, and easy horizontal installation, this product will provide years of reliable service and elevate the standard of your boat’s equipment.
