Thanks for the info. I already have a new circuit breaker panel that is in the process of being installed. I wasn't going to replace the battery switch just yet. We'll see how the current one fares. Will post pics of the new panel once its installed.

Your numbers.. 1.. I appears that a previous owner installed a the small RV type electric pump in the potable water line. Activated by the pushbutton at the sink spigot. See: http://www.westmari ne.com/1/ 1/11408-pump- faucet-from- jabsco.html It delivers about a gallon a minute. Quite sufficient for normal galley water use. IF... the foot pump is in the water line as well, Leave it! The electric pump can loose Prime and the foot pump will allow you to charge the electric pump again. And it's helpful if you have your hands full at the sink. 2. Likely the only OUTPUT for the holding tank is the PUMP OUT fitting. 3. The THREE.. Water lines are likely the only ones you have.. Engine INTAKE, .. Head INTAKE,... Sink Drain OUT... It would be unlikely you'd have any onther plumbing. A possible would be an After Market Refer. Also, In my humble opinion, You ought to be thinking about Up Grading the power panel and battery switch. The current ones aren't looking too good.. :-) Regards, Ralph Ahseln "Oblio" Gresham OR ----- Original Message ----- From: Derek Atkin To: ic...@yahoogroups. com Sent: Wednesday, April 29, 2009 8:58 AM Subject: [IC27A] 1979 Plumbing >>A few assumptions/ questions I want to confirm on my 1979 C27. >1.
