Shower pump on a PDQ 32

Posted by Bob Cliff on July 01, 2002 at 21:41:00:

I have a PDQ 32 and the shower pump in the head is now very slow to drain out
the shower water. I think the pump may be cloged with hair or other gunk and I
dicided to clean it. Problem: how do you find it. There is no apparent access
through the shower floor

Does anyone know how to access the pump? Thanks!

Ours is also in the bilge just outside the head, towards the nav station. It's
right next to the regular bilge pump

Ours on hull #3 is under the navigation floor boards. Yes, we have to clean it
every so often.

I believe that a variety of pumps have been used over the years. On #31 we have
a Whale Gulper (as seen on p.495 of the 2002 W/Marine Master Cat.), mounted in
the compartment forward of the shower, i.e. where the seacocks are

Works well, no clogs as yet, but always backflows enough water to keep your feet
wet!

Thanks to each of you for your suggestions. I already checked under the nav
station floor boards, and will check in the forward locker this weekend.
