My 1975 uses the foot pump to pull water directly into the sink from beautiful Lake St. Clair, Erie, etc. I am pretty sure that this is original equipment. We use it just for clean up.
The electric pump pulls from the fresh water tank which we leave empty. We bring on bottled water and other refreshments Brian Brian Sullivan Tension International Automation Solutions 430 Lothrop Road Grosse Pointe, MI 48236 (313) 640 -0800 Fax: (313) 640-0801 [email protected] Speramus meliora; resurget cineribus --- On Wed, 4/29/09, Derek Atkin <[email protected]> wrote: From: Derek Atkin <[email protected]> Subject: [IC27A] 1979 Plumbing To: [email protected] Date: Wednesday, April 29, 2009, 11:58 AM A few assumptions/ questions I want to confirm on my 1979 C27. 1. My galley sink has a switch by it and a foot pump down below: http://www.opus45. com/c_27/ images/DSCN0995. jpg http://www.opus45. com/c_27/ images/DSCN0999. jpg I found what looks like a electric pump near the fresh water tank. Was this something from the factory - or does it look like someone bypasses the foot pump and put in an electric water pump ? I have not tested anything yet - nor tore into it. 2. I didn't find any evidence of a holding tank to sea valve. I assume these are all self contained. 3. In replacing gate valves I found three a. motor fresh water intake b. below the sink/cooler c. fresh water intake for the head. I assume no other hidden plumbing ? Thanks, Derek.-
