That’s interesting that all those 34’s have showers…never knew.  I have a
small hole in the floor of my head and it goes to the bilge too, but no
shower head to speak of.  Never thought I’d need one.

I have a 1980 C&C.  My shower drains to the bilge.

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.

Seeking sources to replace the shower drain.  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
