Re: Master head won't drain
I replaced the master head with Atlantes and love it. Unfortunately they don’t sell 32 volt Atlantes any more so I also had to install a 32-12 volt converter. I’m not sure if running a 24 volt model on 32 volts would significantly reduce its life.
On the other hand, the GM heads sometimes just lose prime, particularly underway. Do you still have the 1/4 inch copper line from the seawater to the sewage side of the pump? Lossen the nut on the sewage side and see if air bubbles escape. If there’s any air in there the discharge pump just cavitates.
Also, behind the toilet is a short length of hose between the water input and the waste line. Replace that hose and it significantly improves performance.1977 Hatteras 58' MY, Hull No. 304, 4-stateroom galley up model with 8V71TIs in Knoxville, Tennessee

Re: Master head won't drain
I converted to Atlantes fresh water heads 14 years ago. I'm never going back. They just work and I don't have to ever mess with them. I have only had to remove one once to work on it. It had a nickel stuck in the macerator blades. I have no idea who was eating nickels.

Re: Master head won't drain
The disc from a halogen light right over the head occupied my time for quite a while. It was the perfect size to flip like a butterfly valve on a random basis. ‘Toilet lids down’ was added to the before getting underway checklist. Kinda like placing your tray table in the upright and locked position.
