The shower sump has 4 hoses connected. One from the shower; one overboard and from the pump; and two more which I am assuming are the condensate drains from the ac units. Can someone please confirm or dispell this assumption ?

Hello RB,
To be sure, mix up a cup or two of water with a few drops food coloring. Pour some into ONE of the AC condensate pans and watch to see if it ends up in the sump box. Some unsweet Tea would work too. Your just looking for visual confirmation of the plumbing connection. Repeat for the other AC pan with a different color solution.
Alternatively, AC condensate often is drained into the bilge. I've never had a boat with AC so my guesses are based on speculation from reading and hanging around boat forums.

On my R-27 the condensate goes into the bilge.

If you run the air at night you will know it runs into the sump.. Our sump comes on every so often while the A/c is running .. Either one... So yes I can confirm
