Hi Charles:
I'm gonna put this on the net in case others are interested in the manifold
type of discharge system where all waters exit through one through hull.
High in the engine room, well above the water line, is mounted a pvc pipe
approximately 2 feet long with the ends capped. From the bottom of this
pipe is tapped an inch and a half hose which appears to be like a generator
exhaust hose. In the top of the pvc pipe which we are going to call a
manifold, are taps for inlets from 3 air-conditioning units, two bilge
pumps, two sinks a shower sump and I don't remember what else. Everything
dumps into the manifold. From the bottom of the manifold everything exits
through one through hull in the stern of the boat just above the water
line. All discharges from the boat, except toilets, go through this
manifold. This way you only have one through hull fitting instead of the
number that you will see on most boats. It is a very simply way to
eliminate a lot of through hulls, drip marks and splashing from continuous
running air conditioners.
I think this should explain it, but if you need more information, please
get in touch.
