I spent the morning installing a maintenence kit on my 1995-era Par/Jabsco manual toilet, hoping that would fix a leak. However, once I got the thing apart I found the real cause of the leak, a thin but leaky crack in the pump housing.A brand-new toilet is only about $135. I don't know how much the replacement part is yet, because Jabsco seems to keep their distributors a secret, at least on the web site, so I have to wait until regular business hours to call customer service to find someone willing to sell me an expensive piece of plastic.I am perfectly satisfied with the manual toilet, so I don't feel the need to upgrade to something more automatic/complex/breaky/amp-sucking. I'd just replace my old toilet with the new version of the same thing.Is it worthwhile to replace major parts, or could this be the start of a parade of breakdowns?Thanks,Paulp.s. I know Peggy is signing books in Newport this weekend, so I posted this on "Ask All Sailors."
