Odyssey Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Anyone got an electric toilet? My flush pump is playing up, basically it was stuck on despite me pulling the switch off… there is a short somewhere so I’ll need a rummage in the bilge to see the damage (there was quite a lot of smoke and pump kept running)…. Basically I’m looking for best supplier for spares, or wondering about ripping it out and fitting a manual version but that maybe an issue as the flush feed is via the pump that needs fixing…. Fun times ahead I’m sure… that’s if I can get a marine mechanic to call me back about getting engines serviced…. (Don’t people want business 🤔🤔) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suzook12 Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 I would question the wiring on the boat, a short not resulting in a blown fuse is pretty shit to be honest. Find the person that wired it and beat the crap out of them, that could have escalated real quickly!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s an “on the water” job but no rush as no-one really uses the loo… Mechanic is due to become a Dad anytime soon so only taking bookings from mid oct which is fine. So hopefully that’ll pass ok 😑😑😑 Then the long slog to Cardiff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
