Thanks!
Supposedly, you can take picture hanging wire and run it behind the mirror....sawing the glue connections off. But upon first glance, the edge and top is so tight that I don't know how I'll get the wire started. I'll get it done - even if I just have to break the end of the mirror.

Raz sells all the parts to rebuild. They are easy to work on. If the motor is shot they will replace it with a rebuilt motor. I know they are old but they work great when running. I’ve rebuilt all three of mine. Cost was about 150.00 per unit. Look it up on YouTube under rebuild a Galley Maid pump.

Congrats. Nice ride. We spend nights on ours in the back yard sometimes. You should too. Great shake down cruise for all the little things without leaving the dock😁😁
Re: My 1st Hatt - 1984 52C
There’s a chance the solenoids aren’t on the motor circuit. Should have circuit breakers for each motor. Congrats on the boat. Good luck with her.
Re: My 1st Hatt - 1984 52C
Meant to say buttons might not be on the breakers.

Thanks.
On the ER panel, there's a "master head" and "guest head." And I can hear the solenoids clicking only when they're on, but there might be another switch for the attached motor? I don't see any related switches on the salon panel, but...???
It's a tease because you KNOW I'm hoping it's some little thing like that, because the access to those motors absolutely sucks - especially the master which is behind the guest head motor/pump and the solenoid faces away from the access hole! Replacing that solenoid in the pic was like something you'd see in the kama sutra.

If no surprise miracles show-up in the next week, I'll have to order a couple of rebuilds. With two daughters and a wife, the toilets are all we need. Hell, I brought it home with no steering...but we need heads! (don't worry, steering just had to be burped after sitting so long)

Thanks, and for sure. We're thinking of it as our "weekend getaway cabin in the back yard." The kids are going to clean and decorate their stateroom and get some skin in the game helping me.
The A/C man comes on the16th to check out all for zones and reverse a few bad shortcuts made in the past. Besides that, all I need to do is get the heads working and we'll be sleeping on her.

Get yourself a very skinny 16 year old want to be mechanic to get in there. I used to do this on my old cars when I was young and broke. When pushing the flush button have someone tap or smack a hammer on the motor. See if that might kick it over.

Robert has a great how to video featuring a Fecal Removal Specialist that might give some insight into your project. At a minimum it will entertain you prior to your misery. I have a spare pump that Raz rebuilt for me last October that is sitting in storage. It's in Wisconsin but I could arrange to get it to you and I know it will cost less then a rebuilt from Raz. PM me if needed and best of luck with your project!

The garage is filling up.
After I fully restore the big Lee fighting chair, it'll probably stay in storage. As a family boat, it'll just be in the way. If the fish is big enough to pull you overboard, it wins. I don't know if I'll sell it or keep it for resale, if I ever do.
The water-maker is pretty cool. It's all set-up on the boat and plugs right in next to the A/C units. Still, will I ever use it? Maybe I'll be glad to have it when big solar storm or EMP blast destroys civilization.
Lastly, the air vent plenum box things. Only a couple years didn't have gills, right? The more air the merrier, and they look good, but I'm kind of a purest and can't see myself cutting into that hull core. I've always treated the core as the holy place to never be violated! It's a tough decision...what chu' think? I'm leaning toward a couple more blowers, instead.

Oh, and that blue thing a big compressor with 3 hose plugs. So, you won't need a tank to clean the bottom....or pick up a few lobsters if you have a long enough regulator hose.
