Fred:
There are only two logical ways water can fill the bowel, I think.
And a faulty 'joker valve' in my case would not have caused my bowel to
fill. Just to be sure it was not the 'joker valve', I closed the thru
hull for the discharge but not the 'water intake' to the head, and the
bowel would fill....only on port tack.
If I opened the discharge thru hull but closed the 'water intake thru
hull', the bowel would not fill with water.
So I came to the conclusion, it was a faulty value/seal/O ring etc. in
the pump allowing sea water to enter the bowel.
Did I waste $90?

PS: My discharge hose goes to a Y valve mounted high on the starboard
side under the V-berth to allow discharge to either the holding tank or
overboard.

I have fixed similar problems with new joker valve for less than $10.
Easy to install by removing the pump body with 4 self tapping screws.
While you have pump off it is a good time to clean and lubricate the
pump.

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.
