Re: AC drain sump/ Bilge Pump repair???
Not to much for a change. Had to fix the floor in the master closet that had some rot from the AC condensate pan which turned into new plywood tabbed to the hull and sistering a few deck beams. Never going to rot again with all of the glass we added. Also inside doing some padded walls and wallpaper in the cabins and new vanity counters/tops. In the ER new fuel coolers, alternators, starters and some additional engine plumbing. Really would like to add a sonar but haven't been able to con myself into spending that much $$$$.

Re: AC drain sump/ Bilge Pump repair???
Well for what it's worth I chased a mystery water accumulation in my generator room from when we bought Pau Hana until about a year later - I sat in the gen room and ran the dishwasher, and discovered drain hose had a split on the back side against the hull about 6 inches before the thru-hull fitting. It only opened when the dishwasher was draining, I'm guessing due to pressure(?). Since this was also my galley sink drain, I replaced entire hose from coupling to thru-hull. That mystery leak was solved, which was what led to further repairs I posted earlier. But yours looks much nicer than mine did.
