Grey Water Tank hose access

Post by DLOtten »

:banghead:
I have a 2002 Carver 450 Voyager.
I have a grey water tank draining into my aft bilge.
The connection at the discharge port is solid. Same at the grey water tank. From the discharge port, the hose disappears into a tunnel and I can't find any other access to it until it hits the tank. Any ideas on how to find/access this leak.

Whre is your tank located? Mine is in the floor of the master. Make sure your sump switch is on in the engine room. If not, the tank is designed to overflow into the rear bilge where the bilge pumps will eject the overflow.

Thanks. Mine is also in the master. I hear the pump turn on and water flowing at the tank. But it is not going overboard, instead into the bilge. Nut I cannot find a leak anywhere.

I have a Voyager 530 with a gray water tank under floor in master cabin. Where is the pump? I don't think it is working and seems to be draining into the bilge. Do you know specs for replacing?

In mine, the pump is actually inside the gray water tank. There's a float switch inside as well that triggers it. Soap and grime accumulates from time to time, we clean and vacuum it out at least once a year.

ColdCruisin, I’m new owner of 99 Voyager 450. In engine compartment last weekend changing filters and looking around. Noticed “Sump” breaker. It was off. I wondered what that switch controlled. Your post indicates it’s tied to gray water system. Can you explain?
