Have a Jabsco 29090 head. This weekend the wet side stop working. The dry side still pump out to the holding tank, but no flush water. Had to pour down from a bucket. Yes, I do have the inlet valve open. What is wrong?

Sounds like another dry/flush valve failure

There have been a bunch of those recently in Jabsco manual toilets. Only other possible explanations are: intake seacock not open (you eliminated that one), grit in the pump that's preventing it from priming, an air leak in the intake hose that's preventing it from priming, or it's been so long since the toilet's been rebuilt that the the seals in the pump are so worn that the the toilet pump can't seal any more. However, that last one would also affect the toilet's ability to move waste out of the bowl as well as its ability to draw up flush water. So I'm betting on the dry/flush valve. Call Jabsco for a replacement.
