Modifications & Equipment / Re: Shower drain on 2004 38 - Access impossible?
« Last post by Yngmar on October 27 2024, 18:02 »
I've had that same drain and managed to pull the hose and hoseclamp out through the hole. Possibly there was a little enlarging of the hole to fit the screw of the clamp involved.

Then it was just a matter of replacing them and rebedding the drain fitting.

There is no other way to access this, you'd have to cut out the shower tray bottom if you want to get in there. Luckily that wasn't necessary.

Modifications & Equipment / Shower drain on 2004 38 - Access impossible?
« Last post by rdd2 on October 27 2024, 16:07 »
Hi everyone,

the shower drain on my 2004 38 leaks and I would like for it not to do that anymore. To fix it, access to the void below the  heads would be extremely helpful. The only way I have found is where the hose from the shower drain pump goes down there but that is so small I cannot even fit my hand in there. 

I tried taking out the screws out of the shower drain fitting and pulling the hose out a bit through the hole in the GRP pan but the hose+hoseclamp seems to be bigger than the hole.

Has anyone had the same problem? How do I get to this?

BTW, this is the 3-cabin model with one heads on the port side.
 
Any pointers are greatly appreciated.

Tom

In the later models Cruiser, indeed the aft shower is very suspicious. The selector cock is a bit tricky and often the showerhead press button becomes seized. In our boat, the previous owner had it not properly stored for winter, which resulted in a cracked handle of the shower. Easily replaced at low expenses, but easy to loose quantities of water there

If you have the changeover valve in the loo then that is the feed from the forward tank.

Possibly connects the forward water tank with the pressure pump. Have a look under the forward bed.

I had a leak in the transom shower plumbing. Try turning the tap off on the transom, not just the hand held bit.
Have a look in behind the back panel into this area. It drains to the main bilge.

Found it , I have just now to perform a test to it as raymarine suggests . In a phone call they said that it could be either the fluxagate failed or the central unit.

Does any one have a fresh water piping diagram for Bav 41 2003 or any at all.
Does anyone know what the extra blue line does that goes through the galley sink cupboard -three lines enter (2 blue and 1 red)
One blue and the red serve the sink and then proceed to the forward head.
The extra blue one disappears forward into the wood work and is a mystery.

I have a problem with drinking water accumulating the the bilge that I have posted earlier to day. Any help would be appreciated.
Regards

M Bav 41 has just started to drain drinking water into bilge - 50 l over night.
The pressure pump activates momentarily every sa 5 min for about 1 sec.

The bilge under  the motor is dry.

I cannot find any evidence of leaking around the pressurizing pump or any outlets.

Gravity would suggest that any leak from the tank, hot water system area would be captured by the bilge under the engine.

Any suggestions on probable cause would be appreciated.

Regards

Aquapore.
