Trojan/Carver 440 Express forward head shower plumbing

Postby jcoll » June 30th, 2021, 9:01 am

I recently find myself involved with a friend's boat that has a problem with the front head's shower. The shower has a single lever faucet and the shower is not receiving much hot water. All other hot water outlets on boat are fine. I can't seem to locate where to buy a mixing valve assembly (at this point my assumption is this is where the problem lies).

The other issue is how to gain access to the faucet assembly. There is no visible access from the shower. I can see some possible access points from the salon but this will require some disassembly of seating or removal of the mirror possibly.

Any input on this situation will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

We replaced ours on our 1975 Carver Santa Cruz with a stand one for an RV. We did have to dissemble part of the shower. Wasn't too hard. The biggest problem was adapting the fittings from 1975 without getting too involved. Plumbing fittings have changed some since then. Jim
