Same. We flush with fresh water from the forward tank on Grenadine, instead of pumping in lake water full of E.coli and decomposing organic matter. No smells, the head thru-hull remains closed, and I don't have to worry about the bowl overflowing.

I installed a fresh water bladder tank to feed the head. No smells from decaying whatever ( reason the Admiral wanted fresh water feed), no chance for overflow on port tacks, no sea water in the boat (that thru hull is closed all the time. Use tank to provide lateral trim.

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. Rob Abbott AZURA C&C 32 - 84 Halifax, N.S. _______________________________________________ This list is supported by the generous donations of our members.
