SHOWER SUMP PUMP
SYSTEM
________________
Your 352 MY is equipped with two (2)
showers; one is located in the forward head
and the other shower is located in the aft
stateroom head (See Interior Layout on
Page 154, which illustrates the location of
both showers). Each shower is equipped
with a separate automatic sump pump (See
Mechanical Layout on Page 155 and 156,
which illustrates the location of both shower
sump pumps). As the water drains from the
shower into the sump pump to a certain
level, it raises an automatic switch lever,
which activates the shower sump pump and
the water is pumped overboard.
The Shower Sump Pump System oper-
ates on DC electrical power, controlled by
individual breaker switches located on the
AC/DC electrical Panel (See AC/DC Elec-
trical Panel Layout on Page 159, which
illustrates the location of the sump pump
breaker switches). A separate breaker
switch controls each shower sump pump
and they operate independently of each
other.
General maintenance of the Shower Sump
Pump System involves periodic cleaning to
remove any accumulated debris. Remove
the six (6) screws securing the top cover
for access to the debris basket and auto-
matic fl oat switch. If you notice that either
shower does not drain properly, check the
respective sump pump basket for debris and
clean, if necessary. If the shower still does
not drain properly, check the operation of
the pump by manually raising the automatic
fl oat switch. If the sump pump is operable,
but will not drain properly, check all drain
lines for debris and clean as needed. See
your Silverton dealer for further inspection
and repair if the shower continues to drain
improperly.
NOTE: When operating the air conditioner(s)
on your 352 MY (if so equipped), the sump
pump breaker switches must be turned
ON. Condensation from the air conditioner
drains into the Shower Sump Pump Sys-
tem and this water is pumped overboard by
the sump pumps.
