Unless the shower drain has a hose that connects it directly to the pump--which would be unusual because hair, soap scum etc can quickly clog a pump--your boat has a shower sump.My boat has a wet head and the deck drain goes to a pump and overboard.

Only my friends call me WILLIS. You may call me BoneHEADwhat you talkin about Willis.
Try pouring water dyed with food coloring. Open the Sump box where the sump pump is and and observe. Do the same with your main bilge.It doesn't appear to have any way to drain to the bilge that I could find by unscrewing the various 'floorboards' in the cabin. My next plan is to push a piece of fairly stiff wire into one of the holes and try to discover where it leads.
33 CFR ("Code of Federal Regulations") 1322 (11) defines "gray water" as "galley, bath, and shower water;" not the showers, sinks etc from which it's discharged. With the exception of a few closed inland lakes and some specifically designated areas of the FL Keys National Marine Sancturary in which even bilge pumps must be turned off too, gray water may legally be discharged directly overboard above or below waterline from recreational vessels in all U.S inland and coastal waters. "No discharge" regulations apply only to "sewage," defined in the CFR as "human body wastes and the wastes from toilets and other receptacles intended to receive or retain body wastes." And btw, the CFR defines "discharge" as "includes, but is not limited to, any spilling, leaking, pumping, pouring, emitting, emptying or dumping."Showers, sinks and lavatories are termed "Grey water"
Wellll...that depends on whether you actually have 10.5 years experience, or one year's experience 10.5 times?But I have 10 years of experience!!... I have 10.5 years so I win "
If you look at that link picture (my post #28), the discharge of the pump (Red top) has a white pipe to the single hose outlet in the sump box. That stub pipe has in insert black "ledge" to prevent the flapper (joker like shape) check valve from pumping away. Thus the wide flange part (upper left of my pict) rests against that "ledge" and flow is from there to lower right pict side.Was it in the sump pump?
oops white on mine, black stub in link picture.pump (Red top) has a white pipe
