I searched and didn’t find a lot.

Seems like my forward shower on the starboard side is leaking when I shower. It doesn’t look like there is really any access to the drain hose to drain connection - i don’t see any access to the underside of the shower floor. There is a larger circular plastic or fiberglass panel around the metal drain fitting that is caulked. Has anyone tried to remove that larger circular panel to access the drain hose? Or does anyone have any other suggestions or experience with a similar leak?

I had a similar situation on the 588. From the shower pan, the hose has a short run to the grey water tank. I disconnected it there and snaked a sturdy line up through the hose and drain cap. Now I could unscrew the steel cap which clamps the drain on to the pan. There’s a rubber washer which seals from the bottom but it may be leaking from another cause. If so, you can pull the hose and drain out toward the tank and inspect or replace. Keep the line attached at the pan. When you’re done, with some persistence, you can get the drain back into position and screw the cap back on. Good luck!

Thank you Leon. Where was yours leaking - drain seal, hose to fitting or cracked hose?

Drain sealing washer was pinched at the factory. Took me a while to notice the leak. It was very slow. I used a coat hanger wire to grab and pull the drain fitting up tight at final reassembly.

I‘m also interested in that question.
