Front head blocked #846

Closed delcosta closed 2 hours ago

Front head blocked: Status: Resolved

Issue: during trip, front head was getting progressively harder to empty. Eventually it would not empty.

Actions taken: • switched handle from closed to empty position multiple times to try to dislodge • Used electric pump to manually pump from the opening on the deck • Neither of these worked, so I (under Sam's good guidance): o got the snorkel on and went to the front head outlet under the boat o used the electric pump to pump seawater up the outlet (whilst the handle was on 'empty'). pumped water up for about 7 seconds or so. o Released the hose, and then the blockage was dislodged and the front head was successfully emptied. o We then did 3 x rinses of the front head (Filling it up with the electric pump and then emptying). • Greg has reported that "all toilets are working" - so it looks to have resolved it.

This was due to tank blockage. Blockage cleared using Milwaukee pump and issue resolved
