      “am going to remove the sump (or move it to under the shower)

      Bob’s comments reminded me to ask if anyone knows how to access the drain
      hose coming from the shower stall. I am also changing my shower sump and
      noticed the 30 year old hose is pretty stiff and should be changed.

      I haven’t seen any way to get to the drain fitting from underneath. Does the
      fitting on the drain have a retaining nut underneath or was it just put in
      with bedding compound and can be removed from inside the shower stall.

      I was able to remove the hose from the shower drain fitting by lying on my back, head aft,reaching laterally to starboard through the hatch, and using the braille method with a nut driver (rather than a screwdriver) to remove the hose clamp. I left the old hose in place(multiple electrical ties almost impossible to reach) and ran a new hose to the shower sump (which is forward of the V-drive)

      Good thing -because several small screws had been trapped in the drain and in conjunction with hair had essentially blocked the drain>

      Jon:

      Thanks for the input. I have the bilge vent hose in the way, so I will
      remove it and hope my installer faced the hose clamp in the right direction
      🙂
