Wilbur,
I take issue with your critisim of Peggy. She is one of the top contributers
to this forum. Her expert advise and her vast experience is of great help to
the readers here and I for on, listen very carefully to everything she says.
In this case, your point is well taken, but it does not negate any of her
response. Your critisism does not elevate your esteem within the group, it
only detracts from it. So, if that was your intent, you have been
successful.

The head on our boat is a 3 year old Wilcox Headmate. Should there be
any recirculation of the bowl contents happening when one flushes this
head? Either I have just noticed it or the recirculation is getting
worse.

I'd be grateful for your comments before I open up the head.

Many thanks

Matt

As usual, Peggie tries to act like God Almighty and impress with her usual
line of bull but neglects to answer a simple question. Maybe she can't
read too well.

The answer to your question is NO. There should be no re-circulation of
the waste stream. But it can happen if the pump plunger seal is bad. The
same pump that draws in ambient water also pumps out the sewage. If the
plunger seal is bad there can be mixing of waste and ambient water in the
pump which will result in recirculation.

You need to install a pump rebuild kit. That should take care of your
problem.
