Showers and Sumps
Highlights
•
Both heads have showers. The forward head shower stall is integrated into the toilet/sink area.
•
The shower drain pumps are manually turned on in the shower by pushing the black waterproof
button.
•
There is a fresh water hot/cold outlet at the transom. It is set up to use the small, coiled hose to wash
the dodger windows with a sprayer.
Details
Forward Head Shower - The sink faucet extends to become the shower head. Press the top of the shower head
for spray.
Transom shower – Features both hot and cold water. It is located below the transom seat, on the starboard
side. To operate, pull the “T” handle toward you to open the valve. Turn the “T” handle left or right to adjust
temperature. This shower has been converted to hose fitting; use the coiled hose in the port cockpit locker to
wash the dodger or feet.
Note: shower sumps can become emergency bilge pumps if water rises to that level.

Ardent is equipped with a large variety of tools and spares for the engine and other systems. These are in
labeled containers in the following locations:
•
Tools are in the engine compartment.
•
General and engine spares are located in the salon, behind the starboard settee seat back.
•
Long term cruising spares are in the starboard aft cockpit floor lazarette. Please do not disturb the
spares in the aft lockers unless you need to.
•
Rig/Bolt cutters are located in the salon, under the starboard, forward settee seat.
•
A spare transom actuator can be accessed through the hatches inboard of the port berth.

Storage
The amount of storage is one of the appealing factors of this model. We found these compartments of
greatest use:
Food:
•
Under the salon settee seats.
•
On the shelves, port and starboard sides of the salon.
•
Cabinet on the outside wall of the salon head.
Clothes: Each stateroom has a hanging locker and drawers that we find more than adequate.
Tools: engine compartment.
