Washcloth clogged in Vacuflush

[Dougcole]

Well, usually we (I) blame clogged heads on other people but I can't do that this time.

I got up in the middle of the night to use the head, and didn't turn on the light, right as I flushed I noticed something dark in there. This morning I used it again (#2) and it wouldn't flush. I realize now that a washcloth had fallen into the head.

Before I do a lot of dismantling, where do you guys think I should start? Any other tips?

What type of system? A vaccuflush wouldn't allow a washcloth to go too far I would imagine. The only tip I can offer is what I learned from a broker a long long time ago when I started boating. Close the lid on the head every time. Especially underway. I know that practice has saved us from the same dilemma you're experiencing multiple times.

4 cups of caustic soda will dissolve whatever is there

Yeah, you were right it didn't get far. It was stuck at the bottom of the bowl, just under the flap. I don't think I'll use that wash cloth anymore.
