Adding a shower to an H27

[Jeff Isenhour]

Has anyone added a shower and a hot water system to the H27?

TO SHOWER OR NOT?

fIRST YOU MUST FIND A GRATE APPROX, 12'X12" i BOUGHT A TEAK ONE, CENTERED THE FLAT AREA OF THE HEAD FLOOR PAN, APPROX 8' AFT OF FWD BULKHEAD AND 8" PORT OF HEAD STEP, SAT ROUTER FOR 1/4" MAX DEPTH, DREW A LINE AROUND PERIMETER OF GRATE, THEN ROUTE OUT THE PAN FLOOR, NEXT BUY A 360 RULE PUMP, WHICH WILL FIT IN THE CORNER CLOSEST TO THE MAST BRACE, SNAKE THE EXHAUST END OF THE HOSE FWD AND UPWARD THROUGH THE FWD BULKHEAD IN THE SAME AREA YOUR HEAD PLUMBING GO'S FWD, THEN PORT, DRILL A HOLE UNDER THE SINK, THROUGH THE FWD BULKHEAD AND ROUTE THE HOSE TO THE SINK DRAIN, SPLIT THE SINK DRAIN WITH A"T" JOINT AND SPLICE IN THE EXH. HOSE FROM THE PUMP, BUY A SHOWER HEAD FAUCET, AND FABRICATE A REMOVABLE WATER RETAINER BOARD TO FIT AT THE BOTTOM OF THE AFT SLIDING DOOR, THIS WILL KEEP THE WATER FROM FLOWING INTO THE MAIN CABIN, i DON'T HAVE HOT WATER, SO I CAN'T SUGGEST THE INSTALLATION OF A HEATER, GOOD LUCK.
