Shower sump anti return valves don't float


Returned this evening from a glorious day on the bay to hear the shower sump running on our '08 27 PC. Frankly, that it's August and I haven't had any trouble with it yet this year I considered the current run to be pretty fortunate.
Did the usual degunking and cleaned & dried the infernal box and handed the bucket to my bride to dump while I reassembled the beast. Then, I caught sight of the gaping hole where the rubber anti return valve is supposed to be. This is where the Attwood S500 discharge outlet nestles into the &$;@&$"! Sump box outlet hose. I swear I didn't yell AT her, but I did yell, DON'T DUMP! Too late. Into the murky depths went 8 cents worth of rubber that'll scuttle a weekend and cripple the finest of boats. I've scoured and can't find that part. Clues? I'll call TAG in the morning, but any guidance is - as always - appreciated. Likewise, heads up to all: when sopping the sludge out of the shower box and into a bucket, beware of integral parts that hitchhike on the rag. :mad:
 
It is the little rubber thing the pump
sits into and a little flapper on it.
Attwood sells it separate.
 
hey six, send an email to Rule. i've read where people have done that in the past and have had success with getting replacements.
 
Looks like Attwood is coming through. CSR Dustin repiled that he's mailing me a couple grommet/flappers. Will let the board know how they do. Credit where it's due.
 
Kudos Attwood. Grommet/flappers arrived today courtesy of Attwood. Sent me 2 in case we throw another one overboard. :eek:
