RM69 Heads

[gjeffery]

My RM69 Marine Toilet was new last year. Over the winter, radial cracks developed around the annulus at the top of the pump. On Tuesday 27 April, I contacted R&M by e-mail, in English, asking for advice in fixing the pump. This morning, (30 April) a new pump housing arrived, free of charge.

I am very pleased with this efficient service from to Raske & van der Meijde.

You did better than me. Sequentally my RM69 seat cracked, the pump handle, the holding tank valve, and pump body all cracked. I sent the pump body back, it was the first to crack and they said there was nothing wrong with it. They refused to send it back and stopped writing back in response to my requests for it. I call that theft.

On my next boat the OE RM69 holding tank pump kept failing due to valve problems. Opening a pump full of ---- twice was too much and I have replaced it with a similar Plastimo product. No problem since.

I would not touch RM69 stuff again if it was given to me new.

Nice word!

Annulus - nice word - and sort of appropriate given the subject matter. Takes me back to the Latin lessons of my school days, too.

Thanks for the warning!

I would have thought that a cracked pump body would be a matter of fact, and difficult to deny. I hope that I will be spared further problems, which having drawn attention to R&M's virtue, I would be obliged to post to this board.

Re: Nice word!

Mixing work and pleasure! Rest assured that vestiges of Latin persist as general use in engineering design.
