What is this?

Found this in the bilge when I opened the 6`access hole at the bottom of the steps and looked forward.

No Idea what that is. You might need to reset your keyboard to English

I "think" it is a sump pump. Note, what looks like a drain hose at the top and a bilge hose at the bottom. I am thinking that I am looking down on it. But I have a funny feeling that this is a sde view of it by looking at the wood.

It's orientated correctly in the picture (up / down). The wood is the vertical running down the center of the boat. What ever it is, there is no way to get at it, so I hope it keeps functioning!

It was set to english, but a reboot seems to have mysteriously fixed it! Welcome to Windows.

On my boat there is a black water tank under the main cabin. Looks like that could be the end of one.

My black water is under the port side of the mid cabin. Also, my boat doesn't have a gray water system. When I get time, I'll have to follow the plumbing (as much as I can) and see where it goes. As far as I know, my 'front' bilge pump is also under the mid cabin (I just replaced that pump). Not sure I can get better pictures as my only access to it is through a 6" access door in the floor, which is where the above image was taken. There are no other access hatches forward in the floor.

txvista....need you here on this one.

I think his boat had 2 blackwater tanks at one time and he removed one of them/bypassed it.

This is exactly where my mind is at - or, I understand there was an option from the factory to add additional 30G? to the blackwater tank. Maybe this was done by a 2nd tank. By looking at the manual, this is my blackwater tank - and the one under the mid cabin doesn't exist...
I'll need to follow the plumbing to figure out, looks like 2 large pipes (one in, one pump out) and a small one (vent).
