I replaced the manual pump on the toilet and also added a new filter in line with the new bilge pump, so the head is looking and SMELLING better. But then… We took showers and the tank didn’t fully drain. I tested the pump in another bilge and it works fine but I’m thinking the tank is so full of crap and hair that the pump just isn’t strong enough to pull the water out.
I’m going to install a pump closer to the tank and see if that works. If not… It’s time to get dirty and remove the old tank!!!
HUGE JOB!

I wanted my first job on El Vagabundo to be an easy one. The shower would not drain and there was water in the engine room and the forward bilge area. I checked the bilge pump and it just wasn’t doing a good enough job in the engine room and no water at all was draining from the shower.
So I set out to get the job done. I was hoping to have the help of a local mechanic, but he was busy, so I had to man up and do it myself. Mind you, I am not a mechanic and, although I know my way around a tool box, I’m far from a DIY Guru dude. The idea was to install a new pump and run new hoses. Well, it’s a bigger job now. Four pumps and a new system is in order! So far, I have replaced the main pump and the water is out of both bilge areas and the shower is draining.
Now that a new hose has been run, all I have to do is install the new pumps!
