Re: Stus-List icebox pump

[Alan Liles via CnC-List]

Hi all, thanks again for the advice. My boat does have a switch on the bulkhead 
and pumps through the weird spigot into the sink. It's surprising how much you 
can miss when you're learning a new boat. 

Cheers, Al

Like Josh we have refrigeration so we just have a hand pump for the little
water we get from spills or thawing/deicing or washing out the ice box.
The pump is located next to the water heater under the sink and pumps into
the sink through the little spout as the others mention.

The pump is one of these: http://www.beckson.com/109PC.html

Alan, 

See attached photo.  We have a sump located in the bilge inboard and
slightly forward of the galley sink.  It has a Rule pump and float switch.
The circuit breaker provides power to the float switch and we only shut the
breaker when we pump the sump.  The sump pump discharges via a check valve
and anti-siphon valve located under the sink into the tee from the left side
of the picture.  The galley sink drain goes into the tee from the top of the
picture.  I've since replaced the nylon tee and cleaned up the lines in the
bilge.  

We keep a plug in the icebox drain until we want to drain water.  The cold
water helps keep the icebox cool.  

Regards,

Ron

Hi all. I was just at the boat cleaning up and I tried the icebox pump by
switching it on at the breaker panel. Nothing. I tried to get a look at it
but it seems I'd have to take up the galley sole to see the bottom of the
icebox so I thought I'd research it a bit before I started disassembling.
My first question is whether the pump should start when the breaker is
switched on. Secondly, is the pump located at the bottom of the box or
should I look elsewhere? Also, where do you suppose it discharges?

On  my 93 37/40 xl the ice box pump is located under the starboard saloon
seat, just forward of the sink.
There is an additional switch next to the ice box on the bulkhead.
It pumps to a pipe into the inboard sink

Mine siphons to the first sump near the engine and goes to the bilge. Ice box 
water can get a tad nasty.  Tastes nasty anyway as I still suck (pun) with no 
talent!

[Josh Muckley via CnC-List]

Mine doesn't work either but since I have a refrigeration unit I don't have
too much need for one.  Its not hard to pull up the sole to expose the
pump.  There is a good chance that if mine ever worked then it stopped
working because of freezing temperatures and not being winterized.  It is
easily forgotten.  Mine used to pump to the sink through some faucet like
pipes.  Now it just goes to the bilge.  In fact I think I may have just
removed the pump from the hose system so that it will gravity drain.  I
guess the idea of pumping out to the sink is that you could wash your hands
or dishes with that water.  Sounds kinda gross to me.
