It seems the inlet for the heads is blocked with mud.
Wondering if anyone knows of a local diver who would unblock it (on swinging mooring). Very quick job I would think.
Other option is get my old wetsuit out and go over the side myself. Not my preferred option.
Drying her out (fin keel) is more of a pain but possible at WMYC but takes more arranging.
 
With the boat floating, undo the inlet hose from the loo and stuff a dinghy foot pump hose in, pump hard and it will clear. It's what we do with our engine raw water inlet.
 
Thanks for reply. I tried that with a foot pump but it didn't have the desired effect.
Think I might try again with the dinghy stirrup pump which is in better condition.

Could you take the hose off the seacock and poke wire out? Just a thought to save getting a diver.
