Hello Listees,
I am having a problem getting antifreeze into the head. My water intake
hose is attached to the head without clamps with a deeply ridged nipple. It
looks difficult to remove. Therefore, I tried to do what I now remember that I
did last year. Where my seacock for the water intake to the head enters the
boat, the first take-off is the hose to the head. Directly above it is a second
take-off that leads to the drain in the sink in the head. Clearly, the design
is meant to direct water draining from the sink into the intake for the head
and to route it through the head into the holding tank. Last year I poured
antifreeze into the sink and pumped it into the head. Because I did not use
the head all last season (OK, please limit witty replies to 50 words or less),
there was still antifreeze at the drain in the sink. Yesterday, I poured
antifreeze into the sink, and could not get the pump to prime and pump it into
the head. The pump would not prime with the seacock open or closed. When I
poured antfreeze directly into the head, it would pump it out into the holding
tank. How do I get the antifreeze to move through the hoses from the sink to
the connection by the seacock and into the head ?
Thanking you in advance for your advice,
Jim Barham
