Head Problem

[Gypsy]

On a trip this weekend, the first mate tried to flush the head and nothing happened. Checked the fuse and it was blown. Replaced it and new one blew immediately when tried to flush. If the pump was clogged, I would have thought that the pump would try to run before the fuse blew, but the fuse blows immediately. Any info would be appreciated. Also, where is the pump located.

If your toilet is like mine, a Jabsco Lite Flush, the pump is located in the toilet base; there are two in there. One for water intake and one to pump the stuff out.

George, I wish I had gotten your answer an hour sooner. I spent the better part of the morning tearing the boat apart looking for the discharge pump and supply pumps. As to what caused the fuse to blow - first mate. Seems she cleaned to bowl with a disposable wipe. The package said it was flushable, so that is what she did and doing so clogged up the pump.
