My daughter and SIL recently bought a '79 37C and are still learning the systems. Twice now the Galley Maid toilet has stopped flushing - no water in and nothing get pumped out. Both times it has happened were when they had the tank pumped out. They haven't found any sort of tank tender gauge so they are not sure how full the holding tank was.
Anybody familiar with some sort of cutout system that defeats the toilet if the tank is full? Seems awfully coincidental that both pumps quit at the same time then start working again about an hour later.
They may weigh in with more detail once they see this. They're out on Block Island for the week, so its a bit concerning.

Most likely a bad stator. Easily changed. Look on YouTube for Galley Maid rebuild.

Is that typically an internal component requiring removal and disassembly or a remotely mounted unit?

You can do it in place if you have enough room. Make sure to close the sea cock.

Have a couple of Galley Maid toilet pumps 32V around. Need one? or a few for spares? Also new rubber inserts availeable. I´m converting to 12V and don´t want to dump them. 100,-€ each + shipping...Yes, I am in Europe, so shipping will einther take time or cost some.

Are you hearing the pump operate? Or do you hear it pumping and there is no pumping?

Re: Galley Maid Toilet stops working - seems pumpout related
My head has been occasionally not emptying the bowl. Normally after a bit of time it works Today it’s not taking any water from the bowl. I will be ordering the required parts but my bowl is full and when I pull the big hose from the pump I’m afraid it will empty the bowl itself. Can anyone confirm the effects of gravity before I have another mess to clean up.
