Keys Departure

20 days 2go

No Poopy

At least the holding tank was cleaned out first.  No wallowing in poopy for Jimmy.

Marine toilet

Well that was a complete waste of time.  Four hours running new sanatary hoses from head to holding with the proper loop and still not working right.  Damn this Jabsco marine toilet.

Holy Crap

Just had a new Jabsco marine head installed on Genesis and just like the one we replaced the bowl will not fill up with raw water.  A quick phone call to Jabsco customer service and we found the original installation was not right.  Damn  $279.00 to replace a perfectly good head.

What is needed was a vented loop at least 12 inches above the holding tank. Sooooo I have to install the tubing and vented look ($32.00).

At least the new macerator and key lock work fine and will get us past the coast guard inspections in the Keys.
