Just read this before heading out for a quick sail to pickup the prawn trap... and the head started acting up! Seemed to have lost prime on the seawater intake. At first I though it was plugged, but it was just sucking air. After a few minutes, I finally got it going again. No pleasant as the Jabsco replacement has a nasty habit of pumping air back in the bowl and spraying water everywhere, so keep the lid down!
Anyway, probably not much help to you, but the label on the cabinet indicates the original was a PAR (I think), and the Jabsco seems to fit ok, although only 3 of the 4 mounting bolts line up. Not sure if the PO had to drill new holes or not. Given the cost of rebuild kits (~$100 CAD) vs a new toilet (~$150 CAD), if this problem happens again, it's probably time for a new one, or I will consider making a composting unit fit. It seems the holding tank vent line is shared with the vented loop vent line, so when flushing, nasty smells fill the bowl as air is drawn from the holding tank. Possibly the vent through-hull is plugged... next thing to check. I have spent more time on the head than any other item so far, and would gladly say goodbye to the whole mess if a composter would work! -- Shawn Wright [email protected] S/V Callisto, 1974 C&C 35 https://www.facebook.com/SVCallisto On Sun, Jul 7, 2019 at 8:25 AM Raymond Macklin via CnC-List < [email protected]> wrote: > Hello: > > I have a 1985 C&C 33 and i am looking to replace the manual toilet.
