- 1981 34 Californian LRC
I had the survey yesterday on my soon-to-be-mine boat (1981 34' Californian). Several minor things were called out but one of them was the vacuflush head continues to fill with water any time the water pump is turned on.
I think the head is supposed to fill with water when you lift up on the pedal but it feels like the pedal is already at the top of its travel. With this in mind and thinking the pedal was out of adjustment, I thought the water would stop when I pressed the pedal down slightly but this did not have any effect on the water running. The boat has been sitting for a while and I'm guessing a stuck water valve or some such thing but I could be way off base.
This is my first brush with a vacuflush and they are a different animal.
Can anyone who has vacuflush experience point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Matt
