Gary, thanks, yes, that has worked well for me on pumping issues. I have two other current issues that I'm working on:
- The last couple of times I've arrived at the boat there has been 'stuff' in the bowl; the joker valve is not doing it's job and is allowing what's left in the discharge hose to flow slowly back. I left the system soaking in white wine vinegar last night and will see if that helps. The head only receives recycled beer and rum, the joker valve was replaced last year, but still seems to need maintenance much more regularly than I want to get my hands into that area. The last two occasions I've used the rebuild kit I have cracked the plastic housing for the flush water inlet / outlet, meaning more, hard-to-get-hold-of parts. - The pump handle is broken off - we were racing two weeks ago and a novice tried to use the head while we were going upwind in > 20 knots... The pump and he suffered bruising. This means I need to source parts for the pump anyway this winter, and given my satisfaction level overall caused me to think of something better.
