Shower sump pump
Does anyone know where the shower sump pump can be found?
There is a large box in the bilge near the macerator for the head but I'm thinking that box is the pump that goes with the head which was updated in 2006.
As you can tell i'm new to this and any help would be appreciated.
The switch for the shower sump pump is located in the head to the right of the sink.

Re: Shower sump pump
So I am very new for is type of boat also. I think I have figured it out but maybe I am wrong. Let me tell you a story
Last year, the first year of our Carver Yacht, we found that the tank below the toilet was filling up. I went to the marina spot where they happily pumped it out. Shortly after, it seemed like it was full again. "How could this be?", I asked myself. It was only a few weeks later. I went to have it pumped again. They pumped it again and said it was good. Days later, it was full again! I am stressing on the kids...who the heck is leaving this toilet water running? How can we be full again? Ok...now here is where it pertains to you!
I finally figured out that the switch by the sink, pumps the tank from under the toilet to a much bigger tank, where the marina can pump it out. The shower drains straight to the bilge...I believe. I never took a shower...we'll not in the boat
Sorry for the long answer.

Re: Shower sump pump
Think mine is a little different. Book says to turn on the shower sump pump before showering. That switch is by the sink but I can't locate the actural pump. I'd try to trace the wires but they all join together in the wiring harnes. Don't find the books or the wiring diagrams very helpful at times.
My head was replaced in 06 and it also has a small holding tank under it.
