SHOWER SUMP PUMP SYSTEM
Your 43MY is equipped with two showers;
one is located by the forward stateroom
and one is located in the aft stateroom
(See the Interior Layout in the Schemat-
ics Section of this owners manual, which
illustrates the location of both showers).
Each shower is equipped with a separate
automatic sump pump(Refer to the Me-
chanical Schematic in the Schematics
Section of this Owners Manual for the
location of the Shower Sump Pumps). As
the water drains from the shower into the
sump pump to a certain level, it raises an
automatic switch lever, which activates the
shower sump pump and the water is
pumped overboard.The photo below
shows the Aft Shower Sump Pump, which
is accessed through the Hatch in the deck
of the Aft Stateroom.
The Forward Shower Sump pump is
accessed through the hatch in the deck of
the Galley. The photo below shows the
Forward Shower Sump Pump.
‘
The Shower Sump Pump System oper-
ates on DC electrical power. Both pumps
are wired directly to the batteries and are
always on. There are fuses for these
pumps located behind the ACDC Panel.
General maintenance of the Shower
Sump Pump System involves periodic
cleaning to remove any accumulated
debris. Remove the six(6) screws securing
the top cover for access to the debris
basket and automatic float switch. If you
notice that the shower does not drain
properly, check the pump basket for debris
and clean, if necessary. If the shower still
does not drain properly, check the opera-
tion of the pump by manually raising the
automatic float switch. If the sump pump is
operable, but will not drain properly, check
all drain lines for debris and clean as
needed. See your Silverton dealer for
further inspection and repair if the shower
continues to drain improperly.
