Did you open the thru=hull.  What popped was the air vent.

I turned the shower pump on and while the pump motor ran it was not pumping
the water.  Then a heard loud sound which turned out to be the small insert
plug blowing out of the top of the vent hose elbow which is in the cabinet
on the wall behind the head.  I put the plug back in; the pump did pump the
water but it blew out again. 

Do I have to replace the elbow to get one where the plug will stay in.  
Any idea why it blew out.  I am assuming that there was an airlock in the
hose.  Or could it be that the drain was below the waterline so it would not
drain.  We were at the dock and water was quiet; the boat was not rolling.

Thanks.
