I am sussing out how to fit a shower in my Hunter Horizon 26 TK. I have
the system roughed out but am baulking at the waste disposal. The heads
compartment is a moulded part wall and floor section in plastic. I may
have to cut this to fit in a drain bund to the pump suction.

Anyone out there familiar with this sort of scope in this craft or a
similar one and how to resolve this elegantly with a minimum of
disruption to existing moulding?


I built a system in a 40 ft. boat (which is undoubtedly different). I
fabricated a fiberglass sump which contained the waste pump and routed
the waste line to the sink drain. To save space in the sump I used an
air pressure bilge pump switch to activate the pump.
Glued the sump to the floor of the Head compartment.

I am not familiar with air pressure switches - I'll check them out. My
problem is the fact of cutting out for a sump may weaken the plastic
moulding and could give rise to future leaks. Offshore on N/Sea oil
platforms it seemed always the case that the deck drains, supported by
drain pipework, ended up higher than the surrounding droopy plate - I'll
need to watch for that too. Ideally there should be no residual pooling.
The disposal route via the sink drain is my favoured option too.
