I replaced the toilet bowl ball seals. The toilet wasn’t holding water. I replaced them when we first bought the boat so it lasted 5 years. Easy and straight forward.
I got to deal with a clog on my vacuflush and after monkeying around with hoses, plungers, and other ideas I forgot I had this which fixed it in a couple seconds. I didn't know what it was until I came across it online when I was looking for ideas and remembered there was one onboard.
When I thought I had a clog I read that you need to only plung the plunger down not up on a Vacuflush toilet. It can invert the duck bills. I didn’t know that before I did it but luckily it didn’t invert them. Has anyone heard of this happening?
I thought about the duck bills when I was doing that but they are a long way from the toilet and then on a different hose out of the tank. Seems like it would take way more power than a plunger to invert them.
Thanks. My Dad is original owner. It's a 59 Chevrolet Apache Fleetside. Both me, and my brother learned how to drive in it. When Dad passed, my brother got it, and unfortunately it just sits there now.....
My idle on my port engine was at around 800-1000 after a run across the bay. I went into the engine room and manually pulled the throttle to idle and it moved slightly. Idle went down to 600. I shut down. I removed the throttle cable and manually moved the throttle linkage, it was binding towards idle. Took some WD-40 and sprayed the shaft near the spring. Moved it back and forth a few times and she was as smooth as could be again.⚓️

I ordered 4 new fusion 3i speakers for the outside and an Apollo 8 channel amplifier as well.
