Traced the line from both toilets to a tee which led to a valve at the raw water wash down pump, Turned on the pump, problem solved! Thank you all for your help!

Meredith, take a picture of the motors at the base of the toilet. if these are raw water flush, they will have there own pump and you shouldn't have to run the raw water wash down pump. (This would have two tubes coming into the macerator pump and one going out and up to the bowl). It would just require you to move the "t" to before the wash down pump. If they are the quiet flush with solenoid valve (a tube coming through the wall directly to the top of the bowl), I would change them to fresh water flush, they will stay much cleaner and not stink nearly as much.

It's one hose going into the pump which has the macerator and one hose that feeds water into the bowl. The hose the feeds water into the bowl traces back to the wash down pump.

It would help me also. I cannot locate the valves for the life of me. I am gloved up and on a valve search for two days. I have a vacu flush. No water coming into the head sink shower or toilet so I know it's a valve I just gotta find it. Please someone help. I have a 1993 Carver Express.

You really should start a new thread instead of bringing up a 4 year old thread.

I didn't see this post until after replying to your other thread. Since you do have a vacu flush, it should be fresh water. If nothing is working, I hate to ask these questions....are you connected to dock water with the water turned on?
If not connected to dock water, do you have water in your water tank and have you turned on your water pump? There is a breaker for it on your 12 volt breaker panel. Most likely, it will say, Pressure Water. I really don't think you have any valves anywhere to turn on unless a previous owner installed them.

This is an old thread. Which seacocks are you looking for and for what model boat? Most, if not all seacocks are located in the engine room.

Welcome aboard. If you're referring to the seacocks for the OEM Crown heads usually found on the 3807, one is behind the starboard engine for the aft head, and the one for the forward head is at the front of the port engine beside the engine raw water seacock.
