[C320-list] Small misplaced Shower Drain

[Ted Barto]

Like others, I found a white plastic barbed ell, cut one end so it was very 
close to bottom, heated other end with heat gun, gave it a whack with a 
non-marring hammer and it hasn't budged. The admiral is the only one uses 
the shower and she REALLY disliked having to mop out the sump.

The drain on Hull 894 (2002) is on the side of the shower sump so the elbow 
is attached to the side pointing down with the small pieces of PVC pipe 
holding it in the drain hole and reaching the bottom of the sump.
