Head Case: Emergency Rebuild of a Marine Toilette
Quick Update: Today required an emergency rebuild of the head–the toilet on board. The problem wasn’t terrible–the plunger pulled free from the internal parts that do the plunging. So, the repair looked like this:
Take everything apart, clean everything with vinegar as you go, retrieve the internal plunging parts and lost nut, lubricate insides of plunging tube with waterproof grease (should be good for the season, now), put everything back together, and test that it works and doesn’t leak . . . . Simple, but time consuming.
Everything went along smoothly. You will have to take my word for it, however, it’s just not appropriate to be posting pictures of this one . . . . 😉
