Open the door at the extreme stern (back) of the cockpit, next to the seat (there is one on each side). Get a flashlight and stick your head in, holding the light in your mouth if it's too small for you to get your arm in there too :shock:

At the bottom of that cavity, you will see your bilge pumps, port and starboard. You will also (probably) see your fuel filters, your macerator pumps for the fishboxes mounted on the transom ahead of you (looking at your stern).

It will give you more light if you lift the cover on the stern seat, where you will probably have batteries mounted.

Underneath the sink is a box that collects drain water from your shower. It has an automatic pump in it too that pumps the shower water over the side. The sink drains directly over the side (turn it on and look over the side to see where it comes out). The water heater also drains into that box when you drain it.

Take a look at the TC255 owners manual available in the documents section. There is also a wiring diagram.

Let us know how else we can help you. Enjoy your TomCat!
