Things are not quite as they seem!

In our H320, the bottom section looks a bit different, we have got the seacock for the heads supply in that area.

Interesting! I presume that you have to lift the floor board each time you wish to operate the sea cock? On this basis I suspect that you leave the valve open all the time?
Our sea cock for the heads inlet water supply is situated in the heads cupboard below the vanity basin. This means that it is easy to open and close at will. John |

Thanks for all that useful info John. I thought the bilge pump should be in the lowest part of the bilge. Where would this be and can you access it.
Our seacock for the heads water supply is inside the galley sink unit cupboard. So that's three different seacock positions during the final year of 320 production. I wonder why? I assume an access hatch will be provided for you Janni. Charles |

No. The setup seems to come from the H325 design. The yard has cut an opening into the floorplate, similar to the ones for the inspection of the bilge. Like that we can operate the sea cock in a good way; we even do not have to go into a cupboard, where you usually have something obstructing the access. In the heads we still have two other seavalves in the cupboard, for the drain of the shower and the drain of the basin. Janni Edited by Janni - 11 May 2011 at 06:13 |

I think you have a good improved setup Janni. Our shower drain combines with the basin drain so there is a non-return valve installed, which makes the basin water very, very slow to drain.

I note the pic you have sent & it differs from mine in that my wire connections to the pump are right next to the pump. If water goes above the pump the whole lot can short out, leaving me with no electric pump - or any other electrics for that matter

Hi Charles, The lowest part of the bilge is most likely below the floor of the compartment where the electric pump is situated. However there is no access to it as far as I can see. Please see my next posting relating to my pumping out efforts today. John Edited by JohnA - 11 May 2011 at 23:49 |

It would be nice to be able to see a plan of the construction of the hull sole to be able to see how drainage from the compartments is carried out. I am left with the thought that the disposal of bilge water is very poorly dealt with! John Edited by JohnA - 04 November 2019 at 22:40 |

Well done John. What you have discovered will be useful to many of us. Hard to believe that so much water can be hidden away without our knowledge. Surely one would have expected to be able to see it on lifting hatches!
One other matter occurs to me. Suppose there was a gas leak. How would it be cleared? I expect it would migrate to the hidden space like your water, so normal methods would not clear it. Also, how effective is a gas detector unless it can be sited where the gas goes. Charles |
