John, I also have a C&C34 (1980 vintage). I bought the boat with the shower sump not functioning but have always found the Lake Ontario waters to be sufficient for bodily cleaning. I think my problem is the 43 year old pump that is covered in rust up in the cabinetry! I did consider drilling a hole to drain the shower into the bilge but decided not to do that because, when I am sinking in Lake Ontario and the water is 3 inches deep in the cabin it will start filling the shower pan and that little pump (that I haven’t replaced yet) will act as a second bilge pump and keep me afloat a little longer. ;) My son received a 3D Printer for his birthday three months ago. He has found so many projects around the house to print parts and improve our abode. His machine ran nonstop and he was setting alarms for 3AM to start new projects. Other than the rubber flapper part of that intake assembly, it would be 3D printable. Find a Makerspace in your area. Call the high school engineering teacher. In our old town the library had a 3D printer. There’s bound to be another teenager who would take measurements with calipers, make a measured CAD drawing, and print it for you. Plan E would be to send us the part and my son could manufacture it.

It apparently uses parts from the Jabsco little pal 1 ¼ hand pump – the angled intake base 33839-0100 plus foot strainer with integral disc valve 33632-0100. After much internet research and phone calls these parts are no longer available and have been unable to locate them. Any ideas on locating them -or- a suitable replacement? The shower pan can tolerate only this design or very similar TIA John Read Legacy III 1982 C&C 34 Noank, CT Please show your appreciation for this list and the Photo Album site and help me pay the associated bills.
