[Public-list] Toilet Problems

[Todd Redhead]

I think that is how it is coming in - all I see is the water welling up from
the bottom of the bowl and it seemed to happen with both dirty water and
clean - depending on where I set the lever.  My local chandlery also
suggested a vented loop and I am willing to try it - I just don't understand
why after 35 years it just started to happen.  We were sailing on a heavy
port tack, dipping the rail occasionally - maybe this has something to do
with it?  I'm not sure.

Thanks,

Todd
