Carver Owners Forum

i just bought a 1984 3207 today and the fellow told me i need to replace a valve or something in the aft toilet because it wont flush. i guess its called a joker flap? and what make do they put in these boats for the toilets

You could have any of a number of different heads. Go to a website such as defender marine, west marine, or whatever marine supply house you like, and look for the picture of a new one like you currently have. From there you can buy a rebuild kit.
Wear gloves!

That is what i have been trying to do it is electric and half manual it seems like you can see the manual lever move up and down when you push the flush button like a fail safe flush if the button does fail well get to pumping lol!

looks like a raritan so i hope it will be the correct parts

Hmm. I had the exact same head you described in my 88 Carver.
I could not remember the brand name, so I just went and looked up marine heads. Groco, Jabsco, and Raritan. But none with a model similar to what you have and I had.

So, what i would do is take the thing apart, plug the waste hose so the boat doesn't get all smelled up, disassemble the thing, and bring the parts to a local marine supply place. They should be able to match the parts up.

Good luck with one of the funnest jobs on a boat!

does you look like this i think mine does

but this is a newer model
yup i will tear it down and find some numbers

Very similar and definitely a newer model. On mine, it was mechanical, and then I bought a power kit with a motor.
I did rebuild it once because of the joker valve. If I remember correctly, it is in the joint below the pump part. Could be wrong; it was long time ago.
