Around here, if you are pumping your salad overboard, you would be in trouble. So, we just pump it into the tank, then shake and stir…… I will have to look and see what the ingredients are for the Head Lube.

Salt deposits build up on the valves and vinegar helps dissolve it. It is a cheap and very much hands-off first option.

I get a slight amount of back flow if the head is pumped empty which I suspect is the joker valve either worn or not seating properly. Also, the handle doesn’t want to stay in the down position in either the empty or flush position, which makes me believe there is back pressure even when the intake side is shut.

I had just replaced a pump in my head and I paid $95 for the pump, and the repair kit was $85 (both CAD). It was a Jabsco, so not the same, but in the process I got a locking handle as a bonus. I made a mistake to remove the waste hose off the old pump. What a pain.

If it's a WC Head Mate 1460-C then the pump assembly should be Part 015461. There are a couple of benefits of replacing the entire pump assembly. Your old pump cylinder may be scored or worn. It's usually quicker and easier than installing a rebuild kit. Dennis C.

It is clearly a Wilcox Crittenden. The pump is leaking fresh water out of the top when pumping and when heeled over there is significant backflow from the tank. :-( I'm pretty sure the joker valve is shot. Here's some pictures of the pump and head: https://goo.gl/photos/VrEo64B65gto2wU19 The following kit looks like it's the right one. <http://www.westmarine.com/buy/wilcox-crittenden--headmate-maintenance-kit--135301> http://www.westmarine.com/buy/wilcox-crittenden--headmate-maintenance-kit--135301 Has anyone else had experience repairing these? Does that look like the right kit? Thanks, Gene Fodor C&C 29 Mark II Hawk _______________________________________________ This list is supported by the generous donations of our members.
