Head water seepage

[davidr]

Have a very small leak around the toilet base in my cb30. If it was at home, I would suspect the wax ring was not seated. The boat info package has no info on the marine toilet so I am not sure how it mounts.
Andrew...can you send me an owners manual for the marine toilet?

Thanks!

What make is the toilet? There is possibly a manual online.

Unfortunately, there are a number of places it can be coming from. Have to dry out completely, and see if you can tell which of these it is:

Seal where macerator slides into toilet base, from the back
Seal where discharge hose connects, usually formed by base of joker valve
Seal where toilet bowl attaches to base unit
Flushing water inlet or discharge from pump
Any of the hose connections
Failed or missing duckbill valve in vented loop, with water running back down the discharge hose and pooling under toilet.

Mine was the last one.

Lets hope your leak is fresh water and not black? We had a leak on our R29S toilet and on ours it was a hose on the underside of the toilet. Our head had to be taken off completely to gain access to the hose fitting on the inside of the toilet base. This may or may not be your situation. If you google your toilet brand and model number along with the words "owner manual" you should be able to find a pdf of the manual to be able to view things for a better understanding. Good luck.

Make sure your holding tank is not full...
Everything in a marine head is hoses as mentioned a leak around the base can be from intake or output..I would think if it is only when you flush it is the output.

We have a Tecna head and I found a manual online. The seepage is clean water and it is a very small amount. When we speced out the boat, I requested that the head be plumbed for fresh water flush. The head uses very little water so we we thought it a good option to the smell issue that can come with seawater flush.
