Head wont flush properly
I have not pumped out since I bought her in November due to the fact I never use the head, admiral only. Every time we flush, pour water after use(its closed, never use raw water flush) it fills right back up with black water. Smell is beyond bad. Should I pump out or does something need to be replaced. Sometimes the little issues finally make the top of the priority list.

It is likely that the tank is full and/or the joker valve needs to be replaced. On my 260 EC, the toilet pumps into the top of the tank, and so the only way it's going to back flow is if the tank is full, or the joker valve is damaged/worn, and the little bit left in the line to the tank is reversing into the bowl.
Replacing the joker valve is well ... a joke. Takes 5 minutes. Unscrew 2 screws on hose that comes from your tank to the jabsco pump unit, take out old one, pop in new one, and screw back tight again. Your done.
Can't you check your waste tank level in the engine compartment? I can, it's on starboard. Easy to see the level. I always keep an eye on mine.

Is the safety valve difficult to install? And orange filter is to help with smell? I know there is a lot of talk on here about it. I look it up.

After you guys pump out for the season, do you add deodorizer? Or do you just winterize the system and deodorize in spring?
@Dream_Inn why did you do a homemade version of the Big O?

As far as adding deodorizer, I did add just a little, but I know other times I hadn't. I also flushed about a gallon of ink stuff in there as well.
& you think you're joker valves are fun!? You should try duckbills! I have to remove my icemaker, climb into a hole made for a monkey, under my port side seating, and then remove not 1,2 but 4 duckbills. I had to access them once while on our 10-day trip & didn't have spares. So I had to 'clean' it (lube it with silicon as well so it would close) and remove 'debris'.....let me just say, we don't eat peanuts on the boat anymore. & oh, I keep a spare set of 4 on the boat at all times.

haha thats a good story, not everything in boating is rainbows and sunshine.
Anyone know the holding tank size of a 270? 40 gallons?

Do these heads flush with water from the fresh water tank or does it pull raw water?

Also the flow from my head sink and flow from the cockpit sink is awful. Any way to fix?
