While I am waiting on a HWH, I decided to start on the sanitation system. A few weeks ago I couldn't get the head to pump any water. I received a rebuild kit and it was pretty much straight forward installation. I found out why it wasn't pumping. There was a screw in the pump mechanism. Ran a new hose for the suction side. I put a 5 gallon bucket full of water in the bilge and placed the hose in it and man it drained that bucket fast!
Replaced the Deck Fill. Found my arm can still be a little flexible, but it hurts a lot more.
Still need to replace the seacock.
I installed a new macerator pump. Ran into an issue, so please sound in here. The pump would not run when the Admiral turned the key switch in the head. I took my meter and I was only getting 10.5 to 11vdc. So I rigged a wire with a fuse and ran it straight to the pump. I touched the positive side of the battery and it worked great! So the ground connection is good.
What do you all think, a bad switch?:huh:
Boy that pump emptied the tank quick. I had filled it full of bleach water.
Noticed the tank level lights still on full, so oh boy I get to tear into the tank.:smt089
