[C320-list] Refrigerator drain

[Chris Burti]

If memory serves, the upgrade may have occurred sometime during the 400 series. Catalina ran the reefer drain across the bilges under the galley decking to a wye valve under head sink to permit switching the pump between the shower sump and the reefer drain.
