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.

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? Cheers, Al SV Elendil C&C 37+ _______________________________________________ This list is supported by the generous donations of our members.
