The Shower Drain

We pulled into Palm Harbor Marina a couple of days ago (1/17/2017) and discovered that our air-conditioner is no longer cooling. I think I've explained before how water is drawn in from outside to transfer heat so I won't go into that again. Well, the pump seems to be having trouble, I suspect the strainer is stopped up; I'm embarrassed to say that it has never occurred to me to check the strainer for that pump. So, here I go back down into the bilge I so detest in order to see if the strainer is the problem, however, I can't get the lid unscrewed. After examining it and tugging on it and staring at it I ask Bob (Kharma) to take a look. He doesn't hate the bilge as much as I do so he hopped right down there and started looking around and noticed water dripping from a hose. I poked my head down and determined it was the drain line from the shower, no big deal, just some water remained in the hose and is dripping. But Bob said the through-hull appears to be below water level, so I went outside and realized it was indeed below the waterline, this is when I realized that the only thing standing between Overtime floating and sinking was a leaking shower drain hose, there's no shutoff valve on this through-hull. We quickly found a stopper to plug the hole from the outside, this slowed the drip rate but did not completely stop it. The service department was closed but I was over there as soon as they opened the next morning. The service manager, Matt, sent a fellow over to take a look and he determined we'd need to be hauled out in order to safely replace the hose as well as a new through-hull with a shutoff valve. They are not able to get us on the lift until later today (1/19/2017) so I'll fill you in later as to how the story ends. I find it extremely interesting to think about the events that led to the discovery. The a/c quit cooling which led me to the strainer, had the cap come off I would have cleaned it and never noticed the leak, however it didn't so I called Bob over and he noticed the leak and that it was below the waterline. We owe the faulty a/c water pump, the stuck strainer cap and most of all Bob a huge thanks!
