Bill,
We also have a 3000RK and had a shower drain leak into the basement. The hole in the fiberglass was cut a little larger than it should have been and allowed the drain to move if you stepped on it. The plumbers puddy used by the OEM would work it way out. I removed the drain and went to Home Depot and bought two (2) rubber gaskets the exact size of the drain and installed the drain with one under the drain flange and one on the drain shaft. I had my wife hold the drain from the top to keep it from turning while I was in the basement installing the seal and retaining nut. To gain access I removed the box with the TV and electrical outlet. So far the shower leak has not returned. The gasket installed under the flange of the drain causes it to set a little high ("proud") in the shower, but the wife would rather have that than the plumbers puddy that looks dirty after it ages a little,
Leonard
