S1E49. I FOUND the Source of the NASTY Boat Smell… 🤢 | DIY Shower Sump Install
🚨 THE BOAT FINALLY DOESN’T SMELL LIKE A SWAMP… 🚨
This week aboard Sailing UV, we tackle one of the nastiest problems we’ve had living on the boat… the shower draining straight into the bilge. 🤢
Turns out, shower water + bilge funk = absolutely disgusting.
So in this episode, we rip into the boat and install a proper shower sump system while battling dead batteries, mystery hoses, temporary wiring, cramped spaces, rain, and the usual DIY boat chaos. 😂
We also talk future plans for making this old world cruiser safer, more livable, and eventually ready for full-time offshore sailing and circumnavigation.
⚓ If you’ve ever wondered what REAL boat life looks like — not the polished Instagram version — you’re in the right place.
From marina life and endless repairs to learning as we go with Violet by my side… welcome aboard Sailing UV.
