That is great but does not have anything to do with my problem. That is a maintenance procedure.

What you are saying sounds great. However, if I followed what you are suggesting my black water tank would be filled in less than half the time it currently takes. May as well just stay hooked to the dock. I prefer to stay hooked with my anchor.

Thanks. Tried that several times

As the head mistress said it must be between the head and the pump. No other place possible. No water exits the toilet or enters the suction chamber.

Its all down hill

Thanks for you help with this. I appreciate it. I'll take the system apart. Not that difficult.

Not possible to put water down the toilet. Doesn't go anywhere. Marine Sanitation claims it will dissolve TP and clogs in about 2 days. Just doesn't make a lot of sense to me if no water will go down the line from the toilet.

Tried the plunger. Didn't work. What about the Un-Chloric Acid? Also, If I take the top of the pump off, is it possible to put a snake backwards up the line?

It was not a tampon! It was me. The only stuff going partially down was (large) dinner and paper. I'm guessing the switch failed with the previous flush because there was only a partial suction. When I replaced the switch I also replaced the Duck-Bills. There was nothing in the lines at that...

Sea-land Vacu-flush failed with flush part way down. Snap Action Switch failed at the wrong moment. Partial suction. Investigation revealed broken switch. No spare. Two weeks later I have new switch installed and working properly. Unfortunately the partial flush has turned into concrete in the...

Thanks for the info

Thanks for the info. I'll check out the crush rings and the Permatex.

What do you do when you get a leak?? Tighten the clamps! Well thats what I did. It clearly worsened the problem. Next time I will do it different. Sleeve is $36. No big deal.

Junction between bellows began dripping several months ago. Raw water impeller is new and water flow out exhaust appears normal. I frequently put an infrared temp sensor on exhaust. Never been hot to touch or by sensor. The more I tightened the clamps, the more it leaked. I initially thought the...

6 inch fiberglass exhaust system coupler has fractured, leaking exhaust and water into bilge. It is a joint coupler between two rubber bellows. The rubber bellows are clamped to the fiberglass coupler with two standard hose clamps on each side of the bellows. I have a new coupler ordered. Does...

I would be very careful with that Alaskan. I have studied it carefully. I've been on it about 20 times. Original equipment included air driven stabilizers. Most recent owners removed the compressors from the John Deere's years ago. Claimed they slowed the boat drawing HP. Never out of San Juans...

Would someone please tell us what an average is for $ paid to a broker for hours worked selling a $500k boat.

Great questions. I currently have my boat listed with a broker. I'm having a lot of trouble with 10% to sell a boat for $500,000. He does post on Yachtworld. How much does it cost?

Glad you made it home safely. I cruise the Columbia as well, out of Portland. The only time I have run into enjoyable wind anything near that has been cruising up your way. Glad it usually stays up river!

GFC. Where were you on the Columbia when you had this fun time?

So many seem to come back to the cats as the source of the explosion. While I think they should probably held accountable, anybody think a turbo explosion could do this? Not trying to diminish the cats role, just wondering.

Gas engine powering a 60 foot tuna boat with $40,000 worth of tuna on board. I don't think so. Doubt there are any 60 ft commercial boats out there with gas engines. Anybody else?

Couple's 2 cats swim to safety after boat explodes off Oregon coast | Fox News This story is all over the Oregon News today. Focus is on the cats. How amazing it is to rescue cats from the sea! Don't worry about the 60 ft Tuna boat. Captain and wife are safe. Rescued by another boat in the...

Found the pots!!! We have been out of range for replies until now. We came back around 2 days later and found the pots near the location they were placed at the mouth of Quartermaster Harbor. The water level was higher than when they were set so can't blame line length. Pots were set 1 hour...

Set 2 crab pots at the entrance to Quartermaster Harbor on the south central Puget Sound today at 4 PM. Went back at 7 to pick them up and gone! Stolen I presume. There were 30 or more pots in the area and most where gone also. Not too happy about loosing my $120 Sto-Below Pots.
