Blocked heads

[mick]

Just a wee reminder to check those toilet outlet pipes. I normally check/change them every few years but didn't bother this year as one of the connections is particularly hard to make on my boat. Of course I ended up in a remote anchorage with a blocked hose. Fortunately I was able to sort it but it took hours of struggle/swearing/shouting, etc. and was not what you might call enjoyable.

Could be worse.
I was sent this picture at the start of the week.
The end cap had split. No spares for 2 weeks.
Sorted by removing blank. Covering blank with a piece off a carrier bag and refitting.
Just hope the carrier bag was not recyclable kind. It may not last 2 weeks.

I have the joy of replacing the outlet sea cock this winter, I am not looking forward to that job!

Or cur Elton John (for different reasons) - It has been said he would really enjoy poking out the blockage.
