I will bet that Garhauer would do it as well. I had them custom fabricate a
set of stainless steel bow chocks for my boat last winter and they were great
and relatively inexpensive compared to what I thought it would cost. Dave

I finally swapped out the joker valve in Touche's head because it was leaking
I just replaced mine last night. Ridiculously easy job. Cleaned the tank out,
pumped lots of fresh water through and took it apart. I only lost about a litre
of water onto the head floor.
I was getting tired of coming back from a sail and having to swab the head!

Rebuilding heads seems to be a popular activity at this time of year; I
replaced all valves in my Headmate head last weekend. It's not a bad job,
but I always remember why I bought the stubby Phillips #2 screwdriver when
I do it. The previous weekend I dumped four gallons of vinegar into the

My cheap Jabsco is on its second season. I did replace the joker valve
this year, but it was a simple process. Otherwise, it works fine.

I replaced my whole unit with a Lavac. It uses a manual diaphragm bilge pump
(gusher style) and I have had not one issue in 7 years of operations. Minimal
moving parts and a favorite with live boards and bluewater cruisers. Cost was
under $300.

I've had a Jabsco for 14 years. 3-4 years ago, I put the Twist and Lock
pump assembly on it. Other than the joker valve scaling up, it has worked
well.
FWI, regardless of brand of head, my advice to all is to consider replacing
the entire pump assembly rather than rebuilding an existing one.
Is there is a recognized process to pump out the head to avoid lingering
odors. I have heard people will run a hose at the same time as they are
pumping it out. Anything that can help would be greatly appreciated.

Lately, when the engine running, I’m seeing the voltage reach 13.2 tops
when it used to be much higher (13.7 to 14.0).
Is this an alternator issue or is it the belt tightness? Any
suggestions would be much appreciated.

If the belt is slipping there should be extra dust visible and often some belt
squealing especially when the regulator is calling for high output.
Do you have a charge current monitor? Calypso's LINK 2000 monitor will often
show a lower voltage early in the charge cycle when the current

There may be some signs of slippage as I often hear some squealing
during the initial startup which lasts until I change the RPMs or after 10-20
seconds. Would slippage cause the voltage to drop or would that only happen
temporarily once it’s going again?

That's an excellent question. Hopefully another lister with recent alternator

You should address any slippage regardless of voltage indications. Just
replace the belt and adjust correctly. Slippage is never normal.
As far as the voltage indications
after you have removed any slippage from
the equation, a heavy load (such as charging a drained of weak battery)
If the voltage is low due to belt slippage the noise should be very evident,
black dust will be everywhere, and the alternator will get VERY hot from
friction on the pulley. This will actually ruin the bearings sooner or later.
As for not seeing 13.7 - do you mean that low or that high? I
Edd,
Do you have an internal or external voltage regulator (charge controller).
Regardless the alternator is probably putting out the amount of voltage
required by the regulator. Often times the voltage being supplied by the
alternator is different than that being sensed by the regulator.
When it comes to propane on board, you really need to follow all of the
rules all of the time.

I’ll head out there this weekend (weather permitting), change the belt

In saltwater, it's the dying plankton that smells. It doesn't take
more than a few per gallon to smell. When we leave the boat, we pump

the point of the last sentence is that if everything else is OK,

one of the nicest 43’ boats around. It was also fast and well sailed every
