Thanks for all the info. I am familiar with the toilet and the wet/dry
mode. That definitely isn't the issue as I move the lever to dry after each use. Even in the dry mode, water is entering the head. As simple as it sounds, I believe the issue is that I've been leaving the seacock during the week when I'm not using the boat. I guess I need to close the seacock between uses as well. This is inconvenient, but possible as I have pretty easy access to the seacock. I am still not sure about the second pump that I have. I will take pictures and send, but here's a bit better explanation of if: The pump is a hand pump similar to a manual bilge pump. It forms an upside down "T". 1. Hose enters boat through seacock and does a loop to about 5' in the air. This is a 2nd seacock - not the one used for water to enter the head. It is also larger. Probably 1 1/2" hose vs. the smaller used for the head intake. 2. It goes back to form the stick part of the T. 3. On the "across" part of the T (bottom of pump), there is flow going from holding tank to the pump out access on the deck. I am assuming this is used to help push the material out and to flush the system. |
