I did relocate the shower head holder-- the plastic one broke and was going to be in the way of my new connections. I moved it to the far right wall using a spring type of broom holder. This location keeps it out of the way when using water or sewer connections.
I had enough of the original outlet location. The hose has come off twice during dumping!!!! And yes HOLY mess. The original dump connection was too close to the back wall--was offset to the side-- and was very hard to make a correct connection.
I had to take out the filter screws, twist and raise up the filter to get the Lexan in for the floor. Very stupid mounting of the filter--screws had to come out to remove filter before adding the Lexan.
When the drain Y is rotated horizontal and the clear 90deg. elbo is attached it made the outlet where it is now--also where I want it.
The deck plates were easy to remove. None of the original caulk (silicone ?) stuck to the compartment or deck plate. It just made a gasket seal.
After taking out the original deck plates I put the Lexan on the floor in the correct location and marked where the new holes were to be located. Then took it back out and cut the holes with a jig saw. I painted the UNDERNEATH side of the Lexan to match the compartment--now no scratches.
When I put the Lexan back in place I used 2 temporary bolts to keep it in place while cutting the holes in the compartment floor. I used a Dremel tool with a grout remover bit ( worked like a router )and finished any rough areas with a dremel drum sander.
I just used painters caulk under the Lexan and deck plates. I also bolted (#10) thru the deck plate, Lexan and compartment floor.
