The aft shower sump is located in the center of the aft bilge under the master pedestal bed with access limited to a hatch that is offset aft making servicing the pump and float switch very difficult. The pump is inop so I was able to get it out but the discharge hose was original and broke in the middle in the process. I am considering whether for future servicing it wouldn't be better to just mount a macerator pump on the bulkhead out side of the sump in the discharge line instead. Does a macerator pump require head pressure to maintain prime or should it have adequate vacuum to pull water from a sump?
