Beneteau Sense 43 // lots of saltwater in head shower

[doschhar]

Hello dear Sailors,

I'm an fairly new owner of a Beneteau Sense 43 (2011) and came back to the moored boat after a few days on the road and found the head shower and area with the evacuation drain for the shower full of saltwater (~20 liters).

Normally I close all the valves but of course this time I did not (forgot the ones in the head)

I wonder how saltwater can come into the shower tub any other then via the evacuation opening on the bottom. Checked the system and found it highly unlikely with the pipe layout and pump etc in between ... all I could find was the evacuation felt a little clogged (cleared it).

Maybe someone can share his experience and bring some light into what might have happened.

Thanks for reading.
Harald
