Its a Channel Isles boat .
Did really really try for another Princess of some flavour located in the UK. P40/P420 (not fan of the 360) or a small Phantom but all the UK builders were so late in installing proper stairs and tended to concentrate on luxury " MED BLING" rather than apparently dull boring marine practicality.
Travelled from Hartlepool to Penarth all several in marinas between.
Eventually took one for the team and went for "conception et construction française"
Lying next door on the brokers berth, a gorgeous Phantom, exactly the same length as the ACM . Enquired as to price.
Was told that a few months ago a que would have been forming to buy it, things have now slowed considerably.

Bowthruster and a generator…..they’ll be removed I presume as you have strong opinions on them :ROFLMAO:
Congratulations…. Enjoy :)
 
Bought it back yesterday from Brighton , made right pigs ear of getting it back on the mooring and have just found out several " observers" were watching from distance and giving me marks out of 10. "Nul Points"
Took six years to get ( nearly ) everything working on the Princess , sold it to somebody I actually know. :eek:
OK so..............
The vacuum bog is not working, have no idea how anything works , spent the evening composing a list of stuff to be done............Here we go again .
Have not actually used the genny or BT yet but will probably use them to annoy nearbye boaters soon enough. :)

Dump it and buy a new one!
 
Is it a Vacuflush? Is the vacuum pump kicking in? My last boat had a vacuflush toilet and it worked well. Only issue was the vacuum pump was a bit noisy.
A few items to check would be power to the pump and the pump itself. The vacuum switch might be stuck either.
