And a whole new pump assembly contains a new 'joker valve' (approx. $17)
which you don't get with a $70 rebuild kit.
It was a 'no brainer'.

You did good. A rebuild kit is about $70 and pita.

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.
