New 2005 Albin 28 owner questions

[dgetswet]

So just got the boat last week. 2005 Albin TE flush deck 300 Perkins. Had a survey done (would not recommend this guy) and I'm now finding out some of the issues. Hopefully someone can help me out with.

1. Center fish box has a macerator pump underneath. For the life of me can't find the switch. The old owner said he did not know where it was either. Still have no idea

2. Salt water wash down pump. Anyone know where it's located? Completed. No salt water wash down. Fresh water only.

3. Fresh water shower in stern? Anyone know where this pump is? Completed. All the water on the boat works through the shower switch and water switch.

4. Middle hatch hydraulic motor? Funny worked when we did inspection but does not work now. Completed. The lifts are electric. The wire came off. Works fine.

Any help with any of the questions appreciated.

Thanks to all who helped out.

#3; If same system as my 2001 28TE, then the same same freshwater pump runs both showers and all faucests on the boat.

#2 under the deck normally bolted to the transom on the port side.

Thanks for the info. I did turn on the bathroom shower and it worked. My guess is the rear shower is not hooked up or just broken. It does not look like its been used in a real long time.

Thanks. I will check it out today. I did not see this pump yesterday. I also did not see a pump for the live bait well either.

Well apparently the boat does not have a salt water wash down. Only a fresh water wash down.

they're normally tucked up above what would be the deck level so may require you lifting the hatch and getting your head right inside - mine is mounted on a glassed in piece of ply wood so it can be lifted off easily when it requires changing.

Live bait pump will be fitted to the top of the seacock on the port side usually on the engine box model - don't think it will be vastly different for the flush deck

The stern shower goes dead occasionally because the hose inside the coaming twists or turns and blocks the flow.
Try to gently pull it out and turn it this way and the other with the pressure on and with the pressure off.
I ended up buying a new stern shower less than a year ago and had no problems ever after.
Look for a thread on this forum called “Repairs, Improvements and modifications 28TE “ or some such thing, I detailed the stern shower problems right there.

1.mine has switch located on switch panel at helm labels “macerator”. Not to be confused with holding tank over board which is located on the switch panel in cabin. 2. My saltwater wash down pump located port side aft of transmission, outboard of shaft log. 3. One common pump. I replaced min this year.4. Switch located on helm switch panel should be turned on and actuator switch located on Stbd after edge of pilot house. Mine struggles unless both batteries are on and engine running with alternator at 14 amps or battery charger is on.
