Re: 1997 Carver 405 Raw Water Heads
Got a question, purchased the Jabsco solinoid switch and plumbed the fresh water like you suggested. The macerator switch is 12 v like the new Jabsco solenoid. Wired power to the solonid fron the switch. When I hit the switch the macerator activates but wound shut off until I disconnect the wire? Any suggestions....

If you truely want/need this, install a Vacuflush system. She pushes a pedal and walks away. It will macerate the solids and most importantly completely empty the bowl of all waste and liquid which is something no electric toilet can do as they will leave fluid and solids in toilet and discharge hose once they start sucking air. This causes constant odor. If installed right, your waste lines will last for years without permeating and smelling up the whole boat. Ya the system is expensive and like every other system there is regular maintenance but some stuff on board you just can't put a price on......"Happy Wife Happy Life"

Re: 1997 Carver 405 Raw Water Heads
If so take the hose off the outlet side of the valve and momentarily energize it. You should get pretty near full flow if it is connected and working correctly.
If not, check for flow arrows to make sure it is plumbed correctly and inlet screen that may be dirty?

Re: 1997 Carver 405 Raw Water Heads
The electric macerator had two chambers on one motor axle. One chamber was the macerator and the other was an impeller for pulling water from the through hull valve and sending to the top of the bowl. There is a sealed blocking plate separating the two chambers.
I rarely\never used the water because I didn't want sea water in the holding tank and the toilet always stank, especially on the hot days..
Problem I found was the sealed blocking plate was not sealing well and some of the waste was getting into the water impeller. When I pushed to flush it would send some liquid waste up to the bowl, but not all, and the rest would sink back down to the water side impeller, waiting for another fillup.
I suppose this is just something to consider without alot of expence.
