Thanks Little Sister. I am of the same mind..just wondered if I might be missing the obvious when assembling the wretched thing. Will give jabsco a call tomorrow although I am not expecting a great response. Will post any info from them in case it is useful re different seat/loo models. Cheers

Hello all, Just bought Jabsco regular toilet to replace our old (very!) unit. All fine until fitting the seat/lid assembly. The new arrangement has an offset bolt to allow for seat centralisation and fore/aft position. However, we are still unable to get the (wooden) lid and seat to...

Will the whale gusher urchin diaphragm fit my old henderson chimp II bilge pump please? Thanks.

Hi Solent Cruiser. Thank you for your clear step by step instructions to remove the ”red mist” on french charted waters from navoinics. Following our chart update we were dismayed to encounter the problem. We were advised to change it in “Chart Settings” which option did not exist on our C95...

Hi michael_w. Thanks for your input. The engineer has confirmed gas pressure is fine and there is nothing wrong with our installation. He seems to think the oven thermostat is to blame. If the oven is turned down we have a blue flame but if then turned up quickly we get yellow flames and...

Thank you so much VicS. Looks the business - lots neater too than our ancient but serviceable wall block system. Have ordered one so look forward to it coming.

No idea, but the 3 hob burners plus grill all work brilliantly even when all are on together so I would expect the pressure to be ok The supplier is sending a gas engineer …hopefully very shortly!

Hi Daverw, the 6mm gas feed is on the high pressure side before the regulator. All the rest is 3/8 copper except for the final flexible on to the cooker itself. All so frustrating- the three hob burners are great, the grill is brilliant, the oven burner is very scary..

Many thanks everyone. Have contacted the cooker supplier who is organising a gas engineer to examine it. Had to fit new regulator to ensure as michael_w wrote that there was no problem there. However sadly this did not do the trick.. Whilst doing all this checking thought might as well update...

Help! Brand new Force 10 cooker (1 week old) giving truoble with oven burner 1. yellow tipped flame or occasionally all yellow. 2. this evening made loud roaring noise. Turned off and re-lit ok apart from aforementioned yellow tipped flame. All 3 top burners are fine, good flame etc. Any...

Seasoned Iroko. Claude Whisstock used this for keel sections, stems etc. etc. Very strong and durable. Use sharp tools ! And keep them sharpened throughout I do not recommend mahoghany- if you have a struggle to fit i.e. bolting etc it is prone to split. Iroko is immensly tough - in the sense...

Ithet- thank you for your input. Fantastic !…we dismantled the Jabsco to discover the pulsation dampers completely useless and virtually turned inside out. We presume that the pressure switch, as you say, has been over pressuring the system. We have replaced the pump and now, hurrah, no...

Hello Plum. Thanks for your reply. Greatly appreciated. We had our Isotemp calorifier for 30 years before lack of availability re new immersion unit put paid to it. The original set up : pump-accumulator-cold waterside of mixer taps-calorifier-hot side of mixer taps. No non-return valve, no...

Please can anyone throw light on our ongoing problem with the Hotpot calorifier pressure relief valve. First problem was the prv constantly releasing when jabsco pump pumped to pressure 1.41bar. Spent days searching for problem then discovered that there is a check valve at the tank inlet...

Can confirm that Mr Gilmore is still contactable at the email and phone number give by Bunym0b. He supplied a service kit and brass plunger rod yesterday for our 1 1/2 whale bulkhead pump by return post today.
