    step-down pump area?

    no water being pumped to toilet

    It's possible that my boat was winterized 2 years ago and the water was shut off to the toilet. The toilet runs (grinds, flushes, bowl clears), but gets no water pumped in to it when the electric flushing is taking place. It's a full size toilet. I've been putting NO solids in, but using it...

    what is the purpose of a converter?

    Does anyone have experience getting the head operating? Do I have to fill the water tank first? When and where do you put the disinfectant and deodorant liquid? As you can see I don't know much except where to put the water in and where to pump out the waste. Thanks.

    I've read the "adults only" re: shift interrupt switch

    I'm just not understanding how to keep the engine from dying when shifting into forward or reverse. I can shift into neutral without the engine dying. This restarting and restarting is killing me and the starter. Do I need to lube the switch which was mentioned? Do I need to replace or lube...
