Shower Sump Access - Vyper
 

Anyone ever access theirs? How? I'm thinking removing the lower metal trim around the cabin door opening and then attempting to removing the carpeted kick panel....then of course praying.

Hoping someone has had theirs apart.

I had one out of a 380...4 screws in the kick panel and your there

Thanks!

The kick panel is carpeted....are they in the carpet or am I missing something?

What was the issue on the 380?

I think my pump isn't working....

Appreciate the help!

phillips screws in the carpet,,we were looking for the depth finder and found the pump

Thanks again! (did ya find the depth finder?)

Depth finder under refrigerator (usually). Sump screws hidden in carpet on kick panel.

Great info and pics! I'll be install a new Gulper IC automatic pump this year...
Also, the thru-hull water intake for my A/C is in the same locale.

Ok, so as said, the scews were hiding in the carpet.

I see it there, looks nasty. I would like to just buy a new one and install but can't figure out what brand it is....figure it would be easier to replace with the same one.

Any ideas on the brand??

I wanna say "Rule" ????

Hey Bill, thanks. I'm going to take it out a little later after I eat dinner.

Looks like the Rule pumps today have a different style lid securing style....I guess they could have changed it in the last 10 years, LOL.

I'll report back so if anyone else needs the info they have it.

It is an Attwood Marine 750gph standard size box.

The "new" model looks different except for the box. I'm going to replace the entire unit, it's cheap enough.

Ok, got it installed last night. Pain in the ass working through the small access hole but works now perfectly.

I would recommend that anyone needing replacement go with the attwood model as it is smaller in height and is an extremely tight fit getting in and out. The rule and Johnson units were taller.

The other thing is that I'm not totally sure what other line drains in the box. One is from the drain in my shower but there is another that comes from the port side that has me puzzled. Anyone know???

Ac?

The air is pumped out a thru hull near the galley sink....

Had similar issue with my 380, replaced pump and float switch and still does not work. Is there an in-line fuse somewhere or where do the wires originate from so I can start tracing them back?

Underneath the back seat in the cockpit there is a breaker for the shower sump, check that.

We got it working, not sure what we did, didn't have 12v at the pump and then we did. I am guessing there must be a loose connection somewhere, if we have another issue we are just going to run new wires.

Thanks Keith.

Cool, glad you got it working.
