HELP! 1997 266 FV Shower sump access

Boatman

I have been reading various posts about location of the shower sump pump. I have looked under stairs and only have forward bilge. In aft cabin, only access under mattress is to rear which provides access to fuel tank sending. When I turn on pump switch in shower seems to have drain on battery but nothing working so have to believe pump is getting power but may be clogged drain OR pump. Trying to follow drain lines difficult even with medicine cabinet removed. I tried putting shop vac suction to drain with no luck.

Any suggestions? I have looked everywhere that any of the threads on the topic that have found suggested.

My 280 is mid ship bilge access  under the first step
had to replace my sump since old one was shot

zaverin1 - I have checked there and only forward bilge and two seacocks for toilet and A/C. I'm starting to think that Rinker did not build two boats the same!

You could have a pump that just goes over board like I did on my sea ray
or it just drains into The mid bilge and pumps from there
