I have not had the opportunity to really check this problem out yet so I may not have enough information for anyone to help me,but here goes.....
00 Wellcraft Martinique 2600 we just got this boat this year and we never had a need to use the shower. As I prepare to winterize i found that the shower head doesn't work. It looks like a simple unit similar to a side sprayer at a Kitchen sink, except it has a slide switch that goes from side to side. I have tried it with the sink running, not running, etc... all the scenarios I could come up with. The shower/bathroom is one unit in other words all of the shelves and components are part of the mold including the sink so I don't really have any access to the underside to see where things attach. aside from the fact that the shower doesn't work, I am concerned about not getting anti freeze eveyplace I need to get it for the winter. Any thoughts?

Re: Shower problem

Yes, pump switched on, and all faucets would work. I don't hear anything when switch on shower head is moved to any position.

Re: Shower problem

The barrel slide on the shower head is an on/off for when the shower is running.What you need to do is get the faucet turned on.While it is on full force,take the shower head in hand and pull up on a small knob which should be between the hot and cold handles or knobs on the base of the faucet.It will stay in the up position when the water is diverted to the showerhead from the faucet.If no water comes out then try sliding the barrel on the shower head to the opposite position.If none of this works,just unscrew the hose from the top of the faucet base to empty it for winterizing.Charlie

Re: Shower problem

Thanx Charlie
I feel kind of stupid, because I wasn't pulling up on the knob hard enough, which was my whole problem.All set now(on this thread) Thanx!!!!!
