Hello All,
My '83 E38 shower drains into the forward most bilge well/sump as I assume all other E38's do? This forward bilge well/sump has a small @1" limber hole fairly close to the bottom of the well. This allows shower gray water to drain back into what I assume is the interior of the TAFG grid. I am thinking that this is not intended to be this way and not a good thing? Does anyone see any problem in draining this area and then plugging that limber hole with a rubber transom plug like used on dingys?
The reason I'm asking is I installed a remote mounted Jabsco ParMax shower drain pump under the port bench seat right in front of the nav station. The pump is triggered by one of those "field effect" all electronic bilge switches Ziptied to the pickup hose in the sump. The setup works really well but I would rather not be filling the TAFG with crud if I don't have to....
Thanks, RT
