Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Electric Heads
I have the electric Jabsco's. The holding tanks are small, but to avoid that black water leaking back into the bowl, every time we flush, we follow it with a 10 second fill and flush. This clears

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Electric Heads
I've never had a belt fail. The shaft seal on the macerator pump fails after 3-5 years. I've only replaced one fill pump in 9 years.

No shit Eric, Clorox is deadly to the”brass/copper/bronze” holding tank exits. When you check them, if you have tiny ‘teardrops’ of dark brown material,

Hello Gerhard,
Earlier in this this thread, I stated that RM69’s on my early SM are very reliable. Still being offered in NL.
FWIW, I had the Jabsco on my previous boat and the RM69’s are far

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Electric Heads
I think I'm going to try adding the locking Jabsco head (and maybe valve) before I resort to a big change like adding a Lavac. If they work for a year, I'm willing to do some maintenance once a year.

I switched to the pumps with the locking handle. It seemed to work better initially, but after one season it's just as bad as the original. Need to constantly replace joker & rubber locking
