    We own an early 80’s Ocean Sunliner. We never used the aft cabin head, but are remodeling & want to make it functional again. However, we can’t find the aft cabin bilge. We need to know where the shower drains to. HELP!

    There is no real bilge to speak of. Shower drains into and in - line pump in the engine room bilge and gets pumped overboard aft. It goes into aft drain line for sink etc. This is how it's done on my 42' Sunliner.
    46' boat should be similar . It may drain into a shower sump, then get pumped overboard. That could be under the floor, under an access hatch covered by carpet or also in the engine room bilge.

    Thank you for the info. We tried pouring some water down the drain, but never found where it went. Going to try again today!

    In case you have not found it yet, the bilge with shower pan pump is at the foot of the bed, port side of center. In between the wall of the shower and the foot of the bed. The midship bilge pump is in the engine room. The aft bilge pump is under the bed, lift the access panels off the bed plywood.
