I have a 1990 Hunter 42 and unfortunately do not have a schematic for the water/head system. I have to do some work on the aft head - can someone tell me where the shut-off valve is. Thanks!! Bill

It Depends
On early models, it is where the galley sink drain shutoff is located. On later models, it is under the aft bed in the corner close to the head.

What kind of work?
Depending on what you need to do, I may be able to save you some effort or make the job easier.

Peggy, in response to your question, my electric motor has quit and I am planning to replace it. I have model 37010-000 and while I am at this wonderful job, I might as well replace any worn parts in the pump & macerator assembly. The disassembly instructions indicate that removing the 4 mounting screws will remove the whole assembly. Any suggestions or better ways of doing this job?? Thanks in advance!!! Bill

I'd just replace the entire toilet...
It's 10 years old, which is about the natural lifespan of any toilet...and Jabsco toilets seldom last that long. By now, even rebuilding it isn't likely to restore it to peak efficiency. You can buy an entire toilet at discount for just about the same as it will cost you to order a new motor/macerator--which will cost you list 'cuz it's a "special order" item, and is the most expensive part of the toilet--and a rebuild kit, plus it's a lot easier job...just remove two hoses, 4 bolts and the wiring, take the toilet out, set the new one in and reconnect every thing. And if you've been wishing you had a toilet that could draw off your fresh water system, you'll never have a better excuse to upgrade. Fresh water flush offers more advantages than just eliminating the sea water odor problems...they use a fraction of the flush water, a tiny fraction of the electrical current, and they're a WHOLE lot quieter. And a toilet with a fresh water solenoid option doesn't cost but very little more than one with a seawater pump. Whether you replace the whole toilet or just take it out to put in a new pump assembly, I'd fill the mounting holes and re-tap them so that the lag bolts get a good bite again and the toilet won't wobble. Give it some thought and do a little shopping before you commit to trying to salvage an antique.

Thanks Peggy for your advice - entire toilet
Thanks for your advice, as always. I will start checking around for pricing. Replacing would be a lot easier - and cleaner. Don't mind getting messy but you are right - the toilet is 10 years old. Bill

Kinda thought you might...
agree.
Check out the Raritan Crown II (not the original Crown!)...it offers everything you want for a very reasonable price.
