Grey water sump box

[ahodek]

I need to know the make/model of my grey water sump box for my 2000 460 Sundancer. or if someone can direct me where to get the rubber gasket for the lid.
Thanks.

I doubt that you can get just the gasket, unless you make it yourself out of similar material. Probably just buy the whole box.

Does it look like this one?

It's very easy to make a gasket. Stop by a tire shop and see if they have any inner tubes that are being thrown away. Use a section of the tube that is bigger than the sump box and trace around it with a Sharpie. Using a sharp pair of scissors cut out a piece of the tube with the correct outside demension. Use an exacto blade to get the inside demension providing a little extra width for the areas where the screws are located.

Thanks JimG and sbw1. I looked at the link and my box is different with the ports around 3 sides instead of one. The idea of making my own gasket is brilliant and will be visiting my tire store on the way home. BTW, the reason I am going into the box is because my auto float switch doesn't work unless I bang on the side of the box. Going to take it out and clean it this weekend. Thanks again!

I replaced the gasket material with something similar to this... https://www.amazon.com/Neoprene-Wea...id=1554828571&s=sporting-goods&sr=1-1-catcorr

Might be a better approach than I suggested.

Great. I have some of that at home! Thanks.

You can fix the gasket, but it won't stop tit from overflowing, you need to fix the problem, believe me I've tried, just resolved to make sure it stays clean, no issues after 6 years of keeping it clean.

I installed this switch years ago and it has been rock solid...
