Shower drain

[jrkerr]

I understand there is a dedicated pump for the shower drain on my 96 3200 SCR.
i can't find it but the shower area drained in about 5 min. Should I be looking for wet spots on the carpet?
i thought there was a shower sump pump.

Sump is acessible from the removable door under the step down to the cave.

There may be a switch at the helm to power it.

If there is a float switch I would assume you'd hear the pump. Draining the shower in 5 minutes is pretty slow. Is there water in the midship bilge?

shower drain pump is under floor in front of head. It is accessible thru the small door between floor of aft cabin and galley. It has a small strainer that is probably clogged and needs cleaned.

Found it and it works float switch is functional.
Thanks

My shower sump box works perfectly. The line from it to out of the boat is clogged, or is there a shut off valve of some kind? Isn't the through Hull above the waterline, hence the need for the pump? I can't see where the shower drain line goes after the sump!?

There is no valve and yes the thru hull exists above the water line. Are you certain the pump is pushing water? From either the sum box or thru hull try running an electricians fish tape to see if there is a clog.

I took the box out, cleaned it, put it back, poured a bucket of water in the shower and it came out the top vent of the sump. I then disconnected the drain line and it pumped perfectly. Drain line is clogged!
