Re: NT 32 Engine Room Bilge Drain (Sam Colllins)
Sam,
I concur with Carey’s assessment although my AC lines are all overboard. My shaft alley is almost always dry. Yes, the ridge between the engine room and the shaft alley is to catch any offending liquids other than water. I have not added a bilge pump in the engine room but I did add an additional high water bilge pump in the shaft alley with its own hose overboard. It was purely precaution as that area seemed to be covering a lot of potential leakage area on the boat (all of the engine, maybe fresh water tank and hoses, some raw water, and shaft seal.)
Let me know if you want pictures.

I have NT32FB-95 of 1997 vintage. I am away from the dock and have a
question on how the engine room bilge communicates with the shaft alley
where the bilge pumps are located. Additionally is there a need to consider
a separate bilge pump in the engine room?
Thanks in advance-

A number of years ago I purchased a moisture sensor and an alarm horn and placed the sensor under the engine.
Well, that summer the alarm went off, much to my surprise. The raw water pump was leaking via the seal. (Like "Red Green") I was able to
fashion a duck tape funnel under the pump and a hose drain into a bucket which I drained overboard until we could get a replacement pump.
So, adding a water sensor and alarm horn was great. In reading the many replies to Sam's question I now wonder why I didn't parallel a second sensor
and place it in the shaft alley. This would warn of a shaft seal failure with subsequent leaks into that area.

I once owned a 32’NT and a 37’NT and in both cases, the engine room bilge is/was isolated from the shaft alley bilge by a ridge in the bilge deck about 4” tall. I think this is to prevent oil and diesel fuel that might be under the engine from contaminating the shaft alley bilge water and then being pumped overboard. For both boats the engine room bilge was always completely dry and the shaft alley bilge was frequently wet. The water heater over-temp/pressure hose and at least one air conditioner condensate hose emptied into the shaft alley bilge. To keep this area dry, I routed these hoses into a Tupperware container and then periodically emptied the container.

Hello Sam.
I can't find the make of sensor. I did find that I installed it in 2015, and made a note of purchasing the sensor and horn and an of/off switch for $81, but did not save the invoice.
I suspect it came from a local electronics shop and was just a plain moisture sensor, nothing fancy but it works.
I mounted it onto a piece of plywood so it would lay face down on the floor under the engine/transmission.
I ran DC power off one of the fuse switches for the "cabin heat" blower that is turned on when the boat is running.
We were part way from Victoria, where we live and on the way to Prince Rupert (500 miles away) when the alarm went off
and I then found that the raw water pump was leaking via the seal inside it.

I concur with Carey’s assessment although my AC lines are all overboard. My shaft alley is almost always dry. Yes, the ridge between the engine room and the shaft alley is to catch any offending liquids other than water. I have not added a bilge pump in the engine room but I did add an additional high water bilge pump in the shaft alley with its own hose overboard.

Greetings Tuggers
I have NT32FB-95 of 1997 vintage. I am away from the dock and have a
question on how the engine room bilge communicates with the shaft alley
where the bilge pumps are located. Additionally is there a need to consider
a separate bilge pump in the engine room?
Thanks in advance-

I once owned a 32’NT and a 37’NT and in both cases, the engine room bilge is/was isolated from the shaft alley bilge by a ridge in the bilge deck about 4” tall. I think this is to prevent oil and diesel fuel that might be under the engine from contaminating the shaft alley bilge water and then being pumped overboard. For both boats the engine room bilge was always completely dry and the shaft alley bilge was frequently wet. The water heater over-temp/pressure hose and at least one air conditioner condensate hose emptied into the shaft alley bilge. To keep this area dry, I routed these hoses into a Tupperware container and then periodically emptied the container.

A number of years ago I purchased a moisture sensor and an alarm horn and placed the sensor under the engine.Well, that summer the alarm went off, much to my surprise. The raw water pump was leaking via the seal. (Like "Red Green") I was able tofashion a duck tape funnel under the pump and a hose drain into a bucket which I drained overboard until we could get a replacement pump.
So, adding a water sensor and alarm horn was great. In reading the many replies to Sam's question I now wonder why I didn't parallel a second sensorand place it in the shaft alley. This would warn of a shaft seal failure with subsequent leaks into that area.

Sam,
I concur with Carey’s assessment although my AC lines are all overboard. My shaft alley is almost always dry. Yes, the ridge between the engine room and the shaft alley is to catch any offending liquids other than water. I have not added a bilge pump in the engine room but I did add an additional high water bilge pump in the shaft alley with its own hose overboard. It was purely precaution as that area seemed to be covering a lot of potential leakage area on the boat (all of the engine, maybe fresh water tank and hoses, some raw water, and shaft seal.)
Let me know if you want pictures.
