The New Edge “Niagara” is a practical deck shower offering essential onboard convenience at an affordable price. Sharing the same compact horizontal housing (88×95 mm) as the Tiger version, Niagara installs discreetly on the deck, taking up minimal space. The white lid sits flush with the deck surface, and thanks to the ASA material it remains tough and white despite sun and salt exposure.
The key difference with “Niagara” lies in the Niagara shower head. Made of chromed ABS plastic, it’s significantly lighter yet still resilient against typical marine conditions. Like the Tiger, Niagara features a lever mechanism that provides a continuous flow when the lever is open. Since its construction is plastic (with internal reinforcements), the handset is immune to corrosion and doesn’t add unnecessary weight on the hose or fittings. The chrome plating gives it a metal-like appearance, matching your boat’s chrome hardware while protecting the ABS material from UV rays.
The internal volume of the box accommodates the shower head and hose when stowed. New Edge Niagara is generally configured for cold water use (a single inlet line), making it easy to connect to the boat’s standard pump/tank system. If you later decide to upgrade, the same housing can accept a small mixer valve, but the primary design philosophy is simplicity and reliability.
Niagara comes with a choice of hoses:
- A standard reinforced PVC hose (2.5 m or 4 m) – sufficient for most applications, durable and cost-effective.
- A stainless braided hose (often ~2.5 m) – for those wanting extra robustness and a more upscale look, this option can be obtained.
Both types of hoses attach easily to the rear of the box and to the shower head; the PVC option is lighter, while the braided one offers additional resistance to abrasion.
Usage & Benefits:
- Suitable for any boat: “Niagara” is an excellent choice for small and mid-sized boats (5–9 m), fishing vessels, sailboats – anywhere a simple and reliable rinse-off shower is needed. With minimal complexity, there’s little that can go wrong, which is a plus for any skipper.
- Easy DIY installation: Mounting requires cutting the hole, screwing down the box, and connecting the hose to your water system (standard 1/2” connection). With no extra mixer or complicated plumbing, the install can be done quickly, even by a handy boat owner.
- Quick shower solution: If your boat has lacked a shower until now, the Niagara allows you to add this amenity easily. After a swim, just open the lid, pull out the handset, and activate your pump – fresh water is available to wash off salt and cool down.
- Low maintenance: The handset and housing are made from non-corroding materials (plastic and chrome), so they only require rinsing and occasional cleaning. There’s no paint to peel or metal to rust.
- Upgrade potential: In the future, if you choose, you can always swap out the Niagara head for a Tiger (since the lid and fittings are compatible) or change the hose to a more deluxe one – the New Edge system is modular. This means you can start with the basic model but aren’t locked in if your needs grow.
Overall, the New Edge “Niagara” shower provides exactly what you need for everyday comfort on board – nothing excessive, nothing overly expensive, just a working solution. It lets you enjoy the convenience of rinsing off after each swim or fishing session without worrying about complex equipment or upkeep.
