 I need to buy a joker valve. I cannot locate a model number anywhere on this head. Any ideas what model this is? It is in a 2008 260EC. 
Thanks!

    You got it!  Glad to help.  I have one sitting in my boat right now that needs to be put on.

    It looks like this is a yearly job.  They don't last too long.  I converted my old Bayliner to a Jabsco Electric Head which is great until it decides to not work.  I am keeping my Rinker manual for now to see how it goes.  It's much easier to fix but not as easy to flush.

    Joker valve by Jabsco is standard, you don't need the model. Just take it out, its in the fitting right behind the stem of the pump lever, where the black hose plugs into. You can see the 2 screws on either side of the stem in the picture. 5 minute job.

    Be sure to flush a few gallons of fresh water down the toilet before you do the work.

    I usually replace mine once a year to prevent backup. One of those PM things.

    OK, this may be a dumb question, but why is this replaced?  I never replaced one on my previous boat (8 years, but it was vacuflush) and not in the last 3 with my rinker.  I seem to have problem keeping water in the bowl, it is a slow leak down the drain.  I don't get any other backflush problems?  I was toying with changing out the system to vacuflush or electric as the admiral hates the manual pump.

    First off, joker valve is replaced because you get the backwash when it leaks (doesn't seal any more).  As far as vacuflush, they have duckbills, which are bigger joker valves and there are 4 of them.  Two in each line next to the vacu pump.  They need replaced every now and then, but not often.

    If you get the Jabsco electric flush kit, it's an easy change to do. Basically you will pull out your manual pump out stack, and replace it with the electric stack. This is a good idea, as it has a built in macerator, which will prevent blockages anywhere else. Also, make sure you bring 12V directly from the battery. The electric flush needs a lot of amps to run properly.

    Jesus
    just replaced my jabsco head
    wow
    now I see why toilet looked newer but main base was cracked 
    thru bolts with nuts underneath.
    problem is you can't get to underneath lol

    so got them cut 
    removed old head
    cleaned it all up
    some 4200 around the base 
    tomorrow will run some screws into the glass instead of bolt and nut.
    bad design lol
