I got Nellie's Slurpee in today. Her bilges have never been so dry!
The 3.5 gallon/minute ShurFlo pump is under the floor board just outside the head. 1" PVC nipples, with 1/2" FIP threads, were screwed onto the ShurFlo. Then the 1/2" MIP end, of a 1/4" hose fitting, was screwed into the bushing.
The effluent is pumped into the drain line of the head's sink. To accomplish this the opposing ends of 1" PVC tee are hose clamped into the cut drain line. After a bushing (1" to 1/2" FIP) was glued into the tee, the 1/2" MIP end, of a 1/4" hose fitting, was screwed into the bushing.
The programmable controller, with manual on/off switch, is under the galley's floor board. Visible just to the right of the controller is a vacuum line connector. It's here that either the forward or aft bilge pickup is plugged in.
Here's the strum box for the under-engine bilge. The strum box in the aft bilge is all the way back under the stern tube.
