Forward Head Freshwater Self-Macerating MasterFlush to Cerulean
We’ve had a heck of a time with our saltwater jabsco toilet, it just smells and is hard to use (makes people go back to our Aft head where we have a sweet freshwater VacuFlush and the holding tank.

Wow what a week, we got to the island and realized that the batteries were only holding a charge for <1hr, I was confused and popped the hatch and jumped into the engine room to diagnose.

Head Project: Replacing the Sink Faucets/Shower Heads
While I was working on the other plumbing needs for Cerulean, we started to look at the shower heads/sink faucets in the respective forward and aft heads. As you can see the old faucets were rusted, had some form of rubber cement blocking the non-shower setting and simply were not up to operational rigors –Continue reading “Head Project: Replacing the Sink Faucets/Shower Heads”
