[C320-list] Hose Connection Between Main Bilge and Packing Gland Sump

[Dave Hupe]

I've done more investigation on this subject.  I do not have a hose directly connecting the packing gland sump drain to the main bilge (which ideally would extend underneath the engine sump).  Instead, the drain in the packing gland sump apparently is a tube that extends under the engine sump and then ends just forward of there.  So, any water draining from the packing gland sump empties into the hollow floor grid system forward of the engine (into the closed flooring in the kitchen area/under the ladder).  In order to have a chance of installing a connection hose straight to the bilge, I would have to install a port in the kitchen flooring to get into this part of the hollow floor grid.
