Can't fill my potty!!

laureniac1

I have 2005 fiesta VEE 270. Can't remember the toilet manufacture but it is a manual pump. Turn switch to left pump in some lake water, and do your business. Then flip switch to right and pump waste into holding tank. I can hear the water is close but bowel will not fill. Suggestions? Boat has only been in water a few weeks, and it worked a few times. Can't imagine it is clog up. What side so boat is pick up tube for lake water?

Do you have the valve open?

The toilet manufacturer is probably Jabsco.

Jabsco is the name of the toilet and it's easier faster and cleaner to use the shower/sink hose to fill it

I would guess the through hull valve is either closed or something got sucked in.

The through hull valve should be under your aft cabin mattress.

Yes valve is open. It did work a few times this year. I do like the idea of filling toilet form sink. Much easier no pumping. I am also replacing the gasket in the Jabso pump body.

The best way to rebuild is buy whole new pump arm just a few dollars more than the kit comes with everything new

My wife always fills ours from the sink/shower faucet, it helps keep the smell down in the holding tank

Mine did the same, replaced the pump assembly and works perfect now.
