  • Connecting sea water toilet to fresh water system is a no no....
    • Perfect! Thanks Peggie.
      • It only works IF the sink drains below waterline. If it doesn't here's a Plan B:
      • I switched over to fresh water flushing years ago...
    • Interesting... I know of Hunter boats that are cross connected by the factory
      • Gene, are you sure he didn't have electric toilets designed to use pressurized flush water?
        • The heads were electric... one button flush...
          • First of all, Gene...Lectra/Sans are not toilets...
            • So what you are saying is that it IS OK to connect these to fresh water supply?
              • I'm saying that it IS ok...
                • Which brings it full circle and back to bleach and filters. From another thread.
                • Thanks Peggie...
      • Solenoid-activated engine fuel shut-off has a manual override lever. Not a problem if solenoid fails.
        • Not I could find... and I wasn't the only eyes looking...
          • Hmmm. Engine manual might help
          • Risky method....
            • Thanks, this wasn't your basic pillow.

      • Oh, that's easy!
        • Does the vinegar harm the joker valve if it sits in the discharge?
          • Yes...Soft rubber left to sit and soak in vinegar will swell and distort.
            • White Vinegar/Lectra San
              • White vinegar is actually good for it...
