Please post your results here. You have peaked my curiosity.

If so, where's the loop--before or after the y-valve? I need all the details you can give me. If no loop (which, since your toilet flushes directly overboard, there should be), is ANYthing teed into the tank vent line? This is definitely something I'll look for. The vent line comes off the top of the tank and heads toward the stern but it's hard to see back there so I've never traced it. It's *got* to be something like that. There is no such thing as the supernatural! I'll get back to you with my findings. Now I just need to decide whether I move up the job of cleaning out that nasty, greasy helm locker before I climb down in there to check this out. Stephen |

If the tank was originally a recirculating head system and the PO decided fresh
water flush was nicer and capped the vent by mistake and hooked the vent up to the recirculating line going to the bottom of the tank you would have the problem you described. Check the tank and count the number of fittings on it. recirculating tanks have 2 big lines and 2 small lines. If you have this and one small line is capped just switch the small line for the small capped line and try it out. Interesting thought, Rolf...but I don't THINK Hunter ever installed those gawdawful recirculating systems. I've yet to hear of one anyway, and I've been giving plumbing advice on the Hunter Owners site for more than 5 years. All the builders who did install recirculating systems used Raritan Compact toilets and either the Raritan the 5 gallon tank that wraps around the bowl or a 5 gallon plastic tank made by Kracor...the OEM toilets on 70s and early 80s Hunters were Mansfield/SeaLand 751/752 manual toilets and their tanks were all aluminum. But even if they did, it's unlikely the original tank would still be on the boat. The toilet has definitely been replaced, and if the PO who did that ever intended to use the tank, it would also have been replaced with a larger one...'cuz once it was converted to use flush water instead of recirculating waste water, a 5 gallon tank would fill up in a day. It's also in the wrong location to have been part of a recirculating system. But as I said, it's a very interesting thought...I'm surprised anyone today even knew that those systems ever existed. -- Peggie ---------- Peggie Hall Specializing in marine sanitation since 1987 Author "Get Rid of Boat Odors - A Guide To Marine Sanitation Systems and Other Sources of Aggravation and Odor" http://69.20.93.241/store/customer/p...40&cat=&page=1 |

You can comment on someone else's improper word usage while using the word
"prolly"? How do you walk -- carry them in a wheelbarrow? ;-) -- Karin Conover-Lewis Fair and Balanced since 1959 klc dot lewis at centurytel dot net "Dave" wrote in message ... On Wed, 07 Jul 2004 23:27:45 GMT, "Scott Vernon" said: You have peaked my curiosity And prolly piqued it too. |

I took that as a Jax attempt at humor, but then, I try to see humor in
everything. -- Scott Vernon Plowville PA __/)__/)__ "Karin Conover-Lewis" wrote in message ... You can comment on someone else's improper word usage while using the word "prolly"?

Peggy, I don't have a head (on my boat), and I removed the porta-potty when my wife said she'd rather me do that than her be responsible for cleaning it. That means I have no reason whatsoever to read your posts. Except...I find them entertaining and enlightening as hell. You give great advice (I suppose!), and you do it with great wit and out of the goodness of your heart. You are a treasure. Please keep it up. Who knows, maybe someday I'll get a bigger boat, with something other than a plastic bowl! Thanks!
