That was the set-up on the 42 Custom.  A shower hose was integral to the sink 
faucet.  On my boat, the shower head was attached to a wall rack for adjusting 
the height.  The floor is a teak grate with a very thin plastic catch pan 
underneath.  The pan drained to a “sump” pump with a separate discharge.  I 
removed everything but the drain pan, which now has a hose to drain to the 
bilge.  I’m in the process of installing a shower on deck for use after 
swimming.

I thought most of the showers and these boats are just faucets  that you pull 
out on a hose and hang on the wall

That’s interesting that all those 34’s have showers…never knew.  I have a small 
hole in the floor of my head and it goes to the bilge too, but no shower head 
to speak of.  Never thought I’d need one.

I have a 1980 C&C.  My shower drains to the bilge.

John, I also have a C&C34 (1980 vintage). I bought the boat with the shower 
sump not functioning but have always found the Lake Ontario waters to be 
sufficient for bodily cleaning. I think my problem is the 43 year old pump that 
is covered in rust up in the cabinetry! I did consider drilling a hole to drain 
the shower into the bilge but decided not to do that because, when I am sinking 
in Lake Ontario and the water is 3 inches deep in the cabin it will start 
filling the shower pan and that little pump (that I haven’t replaced yet) will 
act as a second bilge pump and keep me afloat a little longer. ;)

 

My son received a 3D Printer for his birthday three months ago. He has found so 
many projects around the house to print parts and improve our abode. His 
machine ran nonstop and he was setting alarms for 3AM to start new projects. 
Other than the rubber flapper part of that intake assembly, it would be 3D 
printable.

 

Find a Makerspace in your area. Call the high school engineering teacher. In 
our old town the library had a 3D printer. There’s bound to be another teenager 
who would take measurements with calipers, make a measured CAD drawing, and 
print it for you. Plan E would be to send us the part and my son could 
manufacture it.

Seeking sources to replace the shower drain.  It apparently uses parts from the 
Jabsco little pal 1 ¼ hand pump – the angled intake base 33839-0100 plus foot 
strainer with integral disc valve  33632-0100.  After much internet research 
and phone calls these parts are no longer available and have been unable to 
locate them.  Any ideas on locating them -or- a suitable replacement?  The 
shower pan can tolerate only this design or very similar

TIA
