Strange how you can work through all sorts of challenges in building a
boat and then get stumped by a simple problem. I am working on the aft
head sole. I built a nice teak grate, carefully fitted it to the shower
drain opening and epoxied support battens underneath. The original idea
was to fabricate an FRP pan with flanges to hang from the battens below
the grate but soapy water could run under the flange and into the bilge.
The next idea was to epoxy the pan under the battens but that would
eliminate access to the bilge below the head and there is no space for a
separate access hatch.

How do you mount a shower pan so that it will not leak and can still be
removed easily?

I'm picturing an opening in the sole or some sort of cleat you can hang the
pan from. The pan has overlapping flange. A loose teak grating fits in the
pan. Fit the pan to the cleats with silicone sealant - it's easy to remove
but won't come off unless it's intended.
