Toilet leaking on my 342

John41

So I notice I had water leaking on the left side of my toilet, right under the motor. I took the motor off and changed a couple of seals thinking that would fix the problem but unfortunately it didn’t. I tightened up the screws all around the toilet bowl but still leaking. Doesn’t seem to be coming from the hose. Any thoughts???

Does your toilet have this valve behind the bowl? The grommet it pushes into can leak, so can the valve. They comes as a set of you order.Also replace the seals at the base of the bowl. Hopefully, this is the same toilet you have. Excuse the filth, this is how it was when I bought the boat. Spotless now!!

He has a Jabsco Electric in the 342. John you can try the rebuild kit that gives you all new seals and you rebuild everything below the toilet bowl but I can tell you that is a 50/50 shot of repair. If you want to one and done it you would then would want to buy a new pump motor assembly. I chased the same leak for a while with rebuild kits and the new motor pump assembly took care of it.

There are no joker valves on a vacuflush.  Maybe it was the 4 duckbills you had to replace?

I’m not aware of a 342 that had vacuflush?

Ok maybe slightly off topic but here goes. I noticed for the first time that after flushing my head that it would "bubble" just a little bit. Never seen that before (I have had the boat since 2007) so decided to change the Joker valve (quite flush). I found the joker valve part number on youtube and ordered one. Went to change it and found the old one to be a duckbil valve. I put the new joker in and it works perfect. So the question is, what the heII is the difference between the 2? Keep in mind that my boat has had only 1 owner before me and it was only 5 years old when I bought it. I could not find a duckbil number or duckbil that would fit from jabsco.

They are really the same thing just a different shape. I think the duckbill has a smaller diameter opening has the vacuflush system basically macerates the waste by sucking it through a small dimeter hole in the bottom of the toilet bowl.
