Jabsco toilet conversion electric leaking

[Rhylsailer99]

I opened the valves on the toilet to let the seawater and waste in and out, and the pump seems to be leaking around 2 small holes at the base of the pump. Has anyone any ideas thanks .Not looking forward to pulling it apart.

It looks as though you may have to tear it down and install Service kit A unless you can identify the part needed and obtain it separately.
I guess kit A contains all the gaskets and seals etc apart from the parts listed separately, you could possibly need for a complete refurbishment.


Hopefully you have the original manual pump all refurb'ed and ready to refit as a temporary measure?

Just fitted my third replacement electric toilet in 9 years. They're the spawn of satan. When this one packs up it's going to be a manual.

manual versions are cheap too. Replaced the manuel jabco that came with my boat, had a compact bowl. replaced with a new jabsco full size bowl and soft close lid for £140.

I have just bought a manual pump to replace the Jabsco electric conversion. £64.96 for the complete manual pump.
No leaks from the electric pump but its isn't great performer , getting to a point it needs a service and finally given up with the noise , not to mention the electrical consumption.

Interesting. I was so impressed by a recent thread extolling Planus electric bogs that I was tempted to instal one, c £1k. Perhaps not then.

Buy a Blakes, you will never need another.

Would you recommend the £4600 Baby Blake or the £6400 Victory Blake?

It'd certainly keep the ladies out of the heads compartment

Sam probably doesn't have that problem.

The Baby is adequate.
Yes, expensive at first sight, consider that they are unbreakable and infinitely serviceable in the very unlikely event that they need attention. Solid bronze throughout, no corrosion.
Then consider that you can buy a used one and an overhaul kit if necessary for less than £800 and end up with a new toilet that will probably outlast us all. All the parts are available. [ except the very old seat buffers but that can be worked around ]
Mine is 71 years old, works fine. I have had to replace the flap valve once in 20 years, bit of rubber from the local works, cost nil.

But then what do I know as far as you are concerned?

I replaced my forward cabin electric heads when the motor failed after about fifteen years. It was cheaper to buy a complete replacement than to buy a replacement motor!

Exactly and I've done the same. I have always had Matromarine units (Force 4 sell them as their own brand!) but the latest is a TMC which seems a bit more robust in the motor dept. It also has an accessible screwdiver head on the shaft so it can be manually turned over when it seizes. We'll see how it goes.
