Do It Yourself - Fixing a Shower Sump on Your Boat

-

Several months ago, I noticed the shower drain in my boat was not removing water as it should. Rather than water running down the drain, it just collected in the pan at the bottom of the shower. Recently, I decided to tackle the job and figure out what was going on. I knew I was going to spend the entire July 4 th weekend on the boat and I wanted to be able to take a shower without worrying about the water building up. If you are not familiar with the workings of a basic shower sump system on a boat, it is actually pretty simple. The drain at the bottom of the shower empties into a box down in the bilge. Since the box is most likely below water level, there is a pump in the box that pumps the water up, out and overboard. Often the pump has a float switch attached to it to cycle the pump on when the water gets to a certain level and off when the box it empty. A Basic Sump Pump Setup In my case, I had already checked the line from the shower drain to the b...

Should I Document My Boat?

Recently, a friend of mine came across a PWC floating aimlessly in the no wake zone of her marina.   She checked with the marina and they could not identify the owner.   She then reported the found vessel to the DNR and found that there was no record of ownership there either.   The problem was that the registration had expired and along with it, any record of ownership.   The officer asked her if she would like to claim the vessel herself.   Yup!

How is this possible?    Truth be told, this won’t happen in most states, but it can and did in Georgia.   It could also happen in 14 other states.   There are currently 15 states in the US that do not title boats.   This means that the only thing legally tying you to your beloved watercraft is the state registration. Let the registration expi...

Sailing into Unfamiliar Waters

Most boaters regularly cruise bodies of water that are local to where they live, but sometimes we strike out to discover new areas that are totally unfamiliar to us. Of course, there are many options for advanc e research and maybe we even get a chance to talk to someone who has done it. Still, there is that butterfly feeling you get in your stomach when you head off into the unknown. Will this end up being one of the best adventures of my life or will I end up on the rocks? This is what The Ships Logg is currently doing. Unless you happened to notice the obscure icon on the front page, you may not have realized that there is now a channel for The Ships Logg on YouTube. There are even a few content videos there to watch! Yep, they are a bit rough; definitely not as polished as some of the YouTube experts out there but I am learning as I go. The plan is to once again provide useful and entertaining content related to the boating life. So do me a favor. Sail on over to th...
