Re: Stus-List in the water Head Maintenance question
When I swapped out a seacock in the water I swam under the boat and shoved a wooden plug in. Might be cold this time of year!

Re: Stus-List in the water Head Maintenance question
I should also mention that my discharge hose has a vented loop that appears to be above the waterline... also, there is a valve to discharge to my holding tank, but it's currently set to discharge out (I have 2 heads) - I'm more concerned with how the toilet reacts to having the sea water disconnected...

Re: Stus-List in the water Head Maintenance question
Dan, There should be a loop in the discharge hose that goes above the water line. If you have the loop there is nothing to worry about.
