Man your battle stations Cool Mod Alert!potential coffee grounds from bottom of cup, tuna fish scraps from lunch plate being washed, etc., etc..
My solution was to tear out lazy susan under the galley sink (I'm too old and to fat to get down and really use the lazy susan anyway) and open up this huge area. I then cut a regular 'home sized' drain in the sink and installed a full size sink drain -drilled a hole in the side of the boat - installed a 'thruhull' fitting a foot or so above the water line- installed the smallest Horse Power garbage disposal I could find to the new galley sink drain - rerouted the drain hose to the new thru-hull = no food stuff, junk, grease in the sump. I found a power outlet behind the refer and convenient to plug the disposal into
I don't feel I'm polluting as everything that goes down the drain is biodgradable (except the occasional spoon I have to fish out!)
I've changed quite a few things on the boat ( convection oven for microwave, flat screens etc.) but feel this sump bypass was the most usefull.

interesting thread and some good ideas.
I now use small bromine tablets in my AC strainer and 1 tablet in my shower/sink sump and never, ever put solids down the drains. This has worked well for both so far. I think it's very important to throughly flush the system after a good outing.
I like Ken's idea about the dehumidifier (instead of running the AC systems) but sea water is still in the lines so barnacles can still grow, right?

The Rule2000 RM2000 (12vlt). Easy to install, remove old round pump and float, cut wires. Put new ovel mount basket on angle and one hole will match up, thats all you need, if fact it works well when you need to do a mid summer cleaning it will swivel around. attach the wires as instructed and your good to go.
