My 1980 E-38, # 3 has been modified from the original set up of a single diaphram pump to operate both the bilge & shower sump.
The PO installed a rule pump with float switch in the bilge. While it seems as though all the bilge chambers have common drain ports, the water from the shower sump doesn't get into the bilge section with the pump.
I had to use a hand pump to empty the shower sump into the bilge to pump it out.
I'm guessing the hoses may have gone bad & this is why he changed the original wet-up.
Any one come up with a different config? I know Ericson changed around 83 to 2 pumps.
