And make sure you lubricate the pump regularly (6-12 month) with a decent 
Teflon grease (Superlube).

I've had a Jabsco Twist & Lock on Touche' since Jabsco introduced them.  Couple 
weeks ago I saw a little back leakage.  I keep a spare joker valve on board.  5 
minutes to swap it out.  Took the scaled up one to the house.  Soaked it in 
vinegar for 2 days then wiped the scale off.  It's now the spare.

After working in the marine repair business for 15 years and 
repairing/rebuilding more heads than I care to remember, my opinion is the 
Raritan PHII is the best head and the Jabsco Twist and Lock a close second.

Remember, when repairing a head, it's cheaper (timewise), easier and better to 
replace the pump assembly than to install a rebuild kit.

Re: Stus-List Should I ditch the SSB

[Marek Dziedzic via CnC-List]

The MMSI is more than that. It is assigned to your radio and it is included in 
any DSC call you make, including any emergency call a DSC radio can make 
automatically ( that call would include your position).

Yes I can get an MMSI number for free from the Canadian government but it just 
gives me a number I can use/say over the air... I guess in an emergency they 
can use it to look up my vessel data, etc. and save a lot of questions in a 
crisis - they will probably ask those questions regardless.

Stus-List Head Problems

[Tom Buscaglia via CnC-List]

We’ve been out for a few weeks now on our summer cruise and our Raritan PHII 
stopped allowing incoming raw water into the bowl.  I got online and downloaded 
the exploded drawings and since the waste a.m. side was working oki felt 
confident that it was not the primary diaphragm since it handle water in and 
waste out.  The through hull wax clear and there was water getting to the pump. 
So, it looked like the ball valve was the issue. I took it apart and it was 
fine.

Feeling a fit defeated a kind of gave up.  A bowl of fresh water was all it 
needed to flush.  No biggie.  When I got to the Rendezvous and talked about it 
with a few Daves, I realized that it could also be the outgoing ball valve not 
allowing the pump to create a vacuum to draw the water into it.

I got into the exit ball valve and it appears that over time the call had 
gotten imbedded in the spring and the spring was preventing the valve from 
sealing.  I flipped the spring over and it now is good as new!

Other issues have not gone as well... but that’s another story.

Hope everyone is enjoying summer and their C

Re: Stus-List Head Problems

[G Collins via CnC-List]

Those are pretty good optics, but once while on a business trip to Toronto I 
bought a Jabsco toilet at the boat show (smoking deal!) and brought it back to 
Halifax as checked luggage.  The woman running the oversized bag x-ray machine 
laughed so hard I thought she was going to fall off her chair, and the woman I 
was travelling with refused to walk any closer than 10 feet away from me.  Got 
some good comments when it came out on the baggage conveyor...

Re: Stus-List Should I ditch the SSB

[Dan Sargeant via CnC-List]

The Canadian Government dispensed with call signs for private boats some time 
ago.  MMSI is not a call sign. It is an identifier for the government rescue 
authorities in the event you use the auto DSC feature on your  VHF in an 
emergency when you cannot make a mayday call yourself. 
In normal communications boat-to-boat or to coast guard use your boat name to 
id yourself.

Re: Stus-List Should I ditch the SSB

[Dan via CnC-List]

I did some digging and found the answer - In Canada we no longer need a
call-sign unless it's a licensed (commercial) vessel... WILD... hovever I
know that when I leave North America things are different so I'll need to
get a license if I cross oceans:


Industry Canada will no longer be issuing radio licences for ships or
vessels which meet the exemption criteria; therefore a call sign will no
longer be assigned to these stations.

If I was previously issued a call sign, but now meet the exemption
criteria, can I continue to use my old call sign?

In accordance with the technical requirements for the operation of mobile
stations in the maritime service as described in RBR-2, an exempted ship
station must identify by using the name of the ship. The call sign
previously issued to a ship station, now exempt from the requirement to
hold a radio licence, is no longer valid and should not be used as a means
of identification.

If call signs are not being issued, what should I use to identify myself
when I use the radio on board my vessel?

In accordance with the technical requirements for the operation of mobile
stations in the maritime service as described in RBR-2, an exempted ship
station must identify by using the name of the ship. If desired, the
operator may include additional words or characters, along with the name of
the ship, for identification purposes.

Re: Stus-List Should I ditch the SSB

[Jerome Tauber via CnC-List]

In the US all that's required is a valid Ship Station license and a lifetime 
Restricted Radiotelephone Operator's permit. No testing required! The Ship 
Station license is good for 10 years and is non-transferable.  If you want to 
use the ham bands in US or Canada you have to pass an exam.  More info is 
available on the ARRL website.  You have to see if your radio will operate on 
the ham bands.   Jerry

Be sure to get the SWR checked on the rig/antenna.  If the SWR is too high, you

Re: Stus-List Galvanic corrosion

[Matthew L. Wolford via CnC-List]

I did (do) not understand it, either; and my bottom paint is not copper-based.  
The closest electrical appliance is the toilet a couple feet away (but that’s 
another thread).  I figured maybe there was something going on in my marina 
slip due to nearby boats or other potential sources.

What I do know is that my previous bronze thru-hull was disintegrating without 
a ground wire, and the replacement bronze thru-hull appears to be doing fine 
with a ground wire.  If the ground wire had not already been sitting there 
(installed at manufacture or by a PO), I’m not sure this solution would have 
even occurred to me.

Possible ideas:

2.  There is current in the bilge water that is carrying through to the

3.  It is/was a crap alloy.

Re: Stus-List Should I ditch the SSB

So I re-connected the SSB to the backstay and switched it on. I was able to
pick up a guy talking in Norway :)
I have an old analogue pre-DSC radio which pre-dates MMSI numbers so no
station ID has been programmed in or anything like that so I can probably
just use the HF function for calling (I have VHF/MF/HF certification within
can/us) and I can receive marine weather reports off-shore.

What do you use for a station ID/callsign if you don't have an MMSI number?
- in Canada for VHF we just use our Boat's name unless you have an MMSI or
you're a licensed vessel (commercial). Can I just use my vessel name?

It is the stray electric current through the water which can be caused by 
metals on other boat in the vicinity or poor grounds on shore power in a

Re: Stus-List Head Problems

I want to put in a plug for the new Jabsco Twist-n-Lock manual head I
installed this year. After 3 years of "encore" reappearances of tank
contents under way, and no improvement by replacing joker valves several
times a season, I was ready to try any solution under a million dollars!
Happily, the Twist-n-Lock was well under $200 at the Boat Show (not to
mention the priceless optics of my wife and I lugging a toilet around for
all to see).

 

We just completed an 800 nm trip around Lake Huron and Georgian Bay, and I
can report there was not one unseemly encore, no enduring smell in the head,
and no aromas in the captain's quarters either. What a difference this made
for everyone aboard.

Damn, Gary — you must be dropping some industrial-size waste in there! :-)

I’ve had the same electric Jabsco pump on my head since 2006 and no issues. It 
is noisy though. 

Over the winter, I’m going to replace the entire head with a Jabsco Lite Flush 
Electric — see: 
https://www.jabscoshop.com/marine/marine-toilets/toilets/electric-toilets/58500-1012-lite-flush-12v-with-panel.htm
 

 

It’s quiet, looks great, has a slow-close lid and, best of all, uses the same 
mounting as the existing Jabsco head. The earlier versions of the toilet had 
some issues with the pumps and power, but they have fixed that issue. 

In the meantime, maybe add some prune juice to your diet? 

All the best,

Re: Stus-List Head Problems

[Bruce Whitmore via CnC-List]

Does it HAVE to be electric?  On our last boat, we converted the hand pump base 
from Jabsco to Raritan.  They can be difficult to find, but Raritan makes a 
pump-only base/kit that uses the existing bowl, and (at least at the time) was 
about half the price of a new one, and was less than $200.  The reason I raise 
this is the Raritan pump seemed much more efficient at flushing and overall did 
a much better job.
My unit in Chicago lasted more that 5 years before it needed an overhaul, and 
that was a pretty easy process.  By comparison, our Jabsco that is in our new 
(to us) 1994 C 37/40+ is just not very good at getting the effluent up and 
over the top of the loop in the hose.
As a result I will convert our Jabsco to a Raritan the next time I really need 
an overhaul.
Now if I could only figure out where I got the base without the bowl...  I know 
that it was originally recommended by Peggy Hall the Headmistress. Bruce

Re: Stus-List [EXTERNAL] Re: Galvanic corrosion (Della Barba, Joe)

[Matthew L. Wolford via CnC-List]

I was going to replace with Marlon but elected to not do so for two reasons: 1) 
they are not as robust as bronze thru-hulls as you noted; and 2) unlike the 
Marlon thru-hulls I considered, the replacement bronze thru-hull was identical 
in size so the flange fit perfectly in the existing cavity in the hull surface. 
 It was a remarkably easy repair (for a change).

I never did determine the source of electric current which caused the thru-hull 
to erode.  In any event, re-installing the ground wire appears to have resolved 
the issue.

break when I turn the valves, and one is actually leaking around a point where 
it necks down, leading me to believe it is about to break.

 

I will stick with Bronze. Or SS.

Stus-List Head Problems

[Gary Russell via CnC-List]

I just had the electric pump on my Jabsco head fail again.  The last pump
lasted less than two years.  At $230 / pump I need another solution.  This
particular head is VERY loud.  Does anyone have a better and recommendation
for a quieter electric head?

Now you’re really spinning my head.

This would lead you to believe you should use Marlon, but I absolutely hate 
those thru hulls. I have another boat with them, and I expect they are going to 
break when I turn the valves, and one is actually leaking around a point where 
it necks down, leading me to believe it is about to break.

Not so fast, Bill.  I replaced a bronze thru-hull when doing extensive core 
repair about six years ago.  There was a ground wire connected to the original 
thru-hull that we did not re-connect.  About two years ago, I discovered that 
the thru-hull had been substantially eaten away.  The flange on the outside was 
about half gone and greenish-blue in color.  I replaced the thru-hull with an 
identical bronze unit and re-connected the ground wire.  Haven’t had a problem 
since.

Well, Joe, you have just thrown some weight to a very weighty question in my 
head.

I have read where these thru hulls are to be grounded, and then I read where 
you shouldn’t , so I think over the years some I have re-done some grounds, 
then I read the other way, and I don’t connect them, so half mine are grounded, 
and the other half are not, just because I don’t know what to do! 

 

Are a couple drinks a day good for you, or bad for you?

Depends on the latest study you read! 

 

So, I am going with you, no grounds on any thru-hulls!

 

Thanks for clearing my head. (At least until I read another article.)

I am still not clear on how the voltage is being measured and between what 
points.

I have bronze thru-hulls that are not wired to anything. If I measured between 
them and the lead keel or the engine with the stainless shaft, I am sure I 
would read a voltage, they are dissimilar metals in salt water. Absent me 
wiring up the voltmeter, the thru-hulls have no connection to anything else and 
would not corrode. If you do have all these thru-hulls wired to ground, as is 
done on some boats, you now have a battery. You need to be sure there is a zinc 
involved in there somewhere and it had better have a good connection so that 
the zinc is the part of the battery corroding.

IMHO and also the article referenced in another post, I like to make sure my 
seacocks and thru-hulls are NOT grounded. This eliminates the issue of poor 
contact to zincs and prevents the boat wiring from being a path for leakage 
between boats on one side of you and boats on the other, which is something a 
zinc will have a hard time saving you from.

You could try reading current with your multimeter instead of voltage. Small 
stray voltages

likely exist when measuring between lead and SS even in fresh water but I doubt 
they will

sustain much current.

 

Just as an example of magnitude very roughly if there was a current of 1 amp 
continuously

in normal soil it would corrode about 20 lbs of steel in a year.

 

If you are reading less than 0.5 milliamp I would say those two surfaces are 
not going to have

much corrosion between them. If you are seeing over a milliamp then there is an 
issue.

The circuit requires two paths, the dissimilar metals in water and then 
something on the boat

connecting them together. Some advice has been to connect the mast, standing 
rigging and

keel together but do not ground them to the boats electrical system. That may 
be difficult

if items like the VHF antenna is mounted to a metal bracket on the mast. You 
can test for

this by measuring the resistance between the mast and ship's ground. Anything 
under

10 ohms would indicate a connection.

I recently replaced my Ritchie compass cover with a 3D printed one!

I have the Globemaster style compass (large model) with an original plastic 
cover. Ritchie only offers a soft cover now so if you want to replace the 
original cover you're SOL. My cover took a beating over the years so I had it 
3D scanned then printed on a 3D printer. It fits exactly like the old one. I 
have the files so I can order more prints from Shapeways, etc. If anyone has 
this compass and wants a print, get in touch and I can make arrangements to 
have one printed for you :)

I read something like that several years ago, and installed aluminum on my prop 
shaft, and got lots of annoying blotches all over my prop shaft. I had to sand 
them off. I went back to Zinc - - 

 

This Galvanic /Electrical thing is very complex.

Since you are in fresh water, use aluminum anodes, not zinc.

 

Is your ground bus, behind the electrical panel, connected to the engine.  All 
of your instruments should have their negative leads going to the electrical 
panel ground bus.  Then the ground bus should be connected to the engine block.
