[Public-list] Plumbing Question

[Mike Lehman]

Peter,

Every boat I have been on the head intac=ke is connected directly to the 
intake seacock. On the older A30s the rim of the head was below the 
waterline, but that should not be the case on your boat if the head is 
original. Just to be safe, I close the seacock wherever I am not on board. 
You probably need to re-build the head pump too. It seems they need 
something fixed every #@!#!*@ year.

The head on Aurora pumps the bowl out OK, but not much
water comes in.  If I repeatedly pump the handle when
the selector is in the flush position, I get a trickle
of water at best.

The manual (Raritan PHII) says to check the check
balls, check for debris in the intake body, and to
check the piston O-ring.

I will do all that if necessary, but first I wonder if
it is hooked up right.  There is a vented look between
the seacock and the head.  It seems like that would
not allow water to pump in to the bowl.  Can someone
verify this or correct my faulty reasoning?

BTW: The diagram in the manual seems to show a vented
loop between the pump and the bowl, but not between
the seacock (inlet) and the pump, which seems to
confirm my suspicion.
