Shower Faucet

Post by Terra Nova »

I have a 2002 410 Sport Sedan. The faucet in the Master Shower is leaking from the base. I have taken the faucet apart from the top and replaced the O Rings on the valves but it hasn't fixed the leak. The water shoots out between the base of the faucet and the counter top. I can't take the faucet out because its completely sealed within the counter top and there is no access underneath it? I would literally have to remove the entire top which is sealed and glued to the base. Does any body have a similar design and have any advice on how I can replace this faucet?

Does anybody know who the manufacturer of the shower faucet on these models are? I can't find anything in the parts manual and there are no labels or markings on the faucet itself.

I don't know your boat, but usually there is some way to access darn near everything. What is on the other side of the shower wall?

Its the guest bathroom and no access. There is small hatch under the sink but you can't reach the shower faucet. I would have to remove the sink and plumbing in the guest bathroom to see if I could get close. But that sink is counter sunk and I would also have to remove that counter top. So far no luck on a manufacturer either.

These are pictures of the cartridges and the shower faucet with the leak.

I think that's a POS Camco faucet used on many boats and campers (including mine). You can probably get a new one at Eastern Marine or many other places. If its leaking from under the base as you say, it most likely cracked at the bridge and cannot be repaired.

Thanks really appreciate it. I would like to change the faucet out completely but I have no access. I likely have to take the entire counter top off to swap it out. Unless anybody else has a similar boat and has a suggestion?

I think the counter top is caulked in place and has to be removed to gain access to the bottom of the fixture.
