I T-ed my shower sump into the bilge pump line, all the way back at the
outlet near the transom.

similiar question on plumbing, Peregrine has a tee at the thru hull for
the head sink and the shower sump.  When the sump is activated the sink
fills up, yeah its disgusting to think about.  This winter I am going to
replace the counter top in the head and was thinking of putting a valve
inline to isolate the sink when the sump is activated.  Thought I would
check to see if anyone had a similar arrangement or a better idea.  

Also just ordered curtain tracks for the main cabin, I have seen them
installed across the face of the aluminum trim ring, I was thinking of
placing them just above and below the extrusion for a cleaner look.  How
do others have them installed.

Thanks

Que Linda has a through hull outboard of the batteries for salt water
wash.
Strangely enough, it looks like the other ones that Catalina installed.
All
of them except for the engine intake need to be replaced with proper
through
hulls.

When I bought Our Tern, the salt water galley pump and plumbing was
abandoned in place.  The supply came from a tee in the diesel's raw
water
supply.  This seems like a dubious plan to me. Does anyone else have
this
arrangement; and does the diesel suck air back through the system?  The
only
other choices would be the toilet intake in the bow and the new ac
intake
installed by the PO.  The toilet intake can overflow the toilet, so we
leave
it off.  The ac has the same problem with suction, but it wouldn't be
dammaged by sucking air- it just wouldnt work as well.

If you do have this galley supply, please tell me if you use a cheapie
backflow preventer, a vacuum break, or something more substantial to
prevent
backflow.

My inclination is to put a vacuum breaker loop on the toilet supply and
tee
off of it.  But if there isn't a problem, I guess I won't bother.
