[C320-list] Head Vented Loops

[jbrown5093 at yahoo.com]

Getting the cabinet out is easy. Getting it back threading the hoses through the 2 holes is not! Having had to remove the cabinet more than once I finally just joined the 2 holes into a U shaped opening. Then you don’t even have to take apart the vented loops to get it out. And don’t have to fish them back in.

Just lurking. No longer own the boat

My older boat does not have the shower sump and pump.  My shower drain dumps right into the bilge (I have no plans to use my shower, especially with this poor setup).

>>> Dave. Thanks so much. Big help. One questions. On Tethys inside the medicine cabinet there are two vertical hose loops one with a small duck billed valve at top. Was this the case on your boat. It looks like removing my medicine cabinet will involve dealing with these hoses somehow.
