Stevan:
If you decide to replace the pump, tip......make sure you have a 'long'
Philips screwdriver or a 'very short' one or better still, and 'offset
Philips screwdriver' to access one of the four screws.....the bottom
right screw is a tight fit to get a regular screwdriver down to the
screw between the pump and the wall.
Naturally, I found that out the hard way......left my 'offset Philips
screwdriver' at home and didn't have a very long or very short one on
the boat.

I have a similar problem with my jabsco head. It was a brand new
replacement for the original that I installed about 4 years ago. The
other night we were sleeping aboard and I got up in the middle of the
night for a bio break and lo and behold, the bowl was full! Right to
the rim but not overflowing! Lucky me, I thought, that it didn't sink
the boat!
Well being the middle of the night my head wasn't totally screwed on.
Of course, the bowl had been overflowing quite a bit and the bilge
was full to the brim! (I had turned off the bilge pump earlier that
day for some reason)... anyway .. long story short, thanks for
recounting your experience. I now know what I have to do and what
will be involved so I'm a whole lot less worried about it :)
Replacing the head and hoses was the filthiest job I've ever done and
I'm glad not to have to repeat (much) of it.

Recently, on port tack, my 'head bowl' was filling and
overflowing with sea
water.....wasn't completely sure whether it was a faulty 'choker
valve' or
the valve in the 'shut off' lever....had to be one or the other,
probably a
faulty valve in the 'shut off' switch.
Trip to Binnacle to check out possible solutions to the
problem.....simplest
way to address it was to get a whole new Jabsco pump assembly for
$100.
One hour labor in total install new pump..... disconnect 3 hoses
from old
pump, 4 screws in the base, screw new pump into place, connect the 3
hoses.....one of the easiest boat jobs I have experienced.
FYi for anyone having a similar problem.
