Hello everyone,

I’m preparing to install a cockpit shower on our NT37 and spotted these water lines in the aft lazarette.

Are they factory-installed lines put there to make my job easier or do they have some other purpose?

Our boat is only 2 numbers earlier than yours. It came with a cockpit shower. Supplied with the usual red and blue water lines.

I have never seen any purple water lines on our boat.

It looks like you have a stern thruster since there appears to be an electrical connection going through the hull. It is possible that the lines are related to that.

Regards,

If the lines in your photo are running athwartship they may be tee'd off
the cockpit shower lines (which ran to the stbd aft corner ofthe cockpit)
and intended for an optional washer dryer in the salon cabinet just
insidethe door. You might poke your head under the deck stbd outboard and
see if you already have a pair of dead ended lines for the shower too.

Contact Dave Allen at NT with your hull # and the photo, and you'll get the info on what the hoses are for. Speculating can lead to problems.Charlie BillingsEx 26-001 & ex 32-057 owner

Thank you both. I think they probably are lines for a washer. I wasn’t aware a washer or cockpit shower were factory options, but of course it makes sense.

My boat’s water lines are clear PEX. The pink is the antifreeze Nordic Tug must have loaded them with.

Crawling aft and then back forward outboard around the exhaust pipe is a bit of yoga for another day. That’s when I’ll figure out if I can reach the stubs for the shower

Looking under the sink confirmed there is a T sending water into the lazarette.

Once I see what my options are, the shower should be a straightforward installation. (Famous last words.)
