ok, i might be overlooking something stupid, but that said i just bought a 1987 bayliner ciera 2550. i cannot figure out how to activate the head. the boat has water and the pump is working. both sinks and shower work. but i cannot get any water into the head.

there is a black handle that you pull up and silver switch on the side that says for dry toilet or flush. i have pulled the handle up and down and nothing, i have also tried several different combinations of that with the silver handle.

is there a valve somewhere that i need to turn on? the boat sat winterized for two years and i can see the antifreeze in the bottom of the head. there is also down by the engine a line that runs to the bottom of the boat that has a handle on it that says "head pickup."

does this mean it draws water from the lake?

any help would be appreciated.

Re: head operation

Yup, that needs to be open for the raw water to enter. If you plan on leaving the boat unattended for any amount of time I would recommend that you turn it OFF before you go. No particular reason, just better safe than sorry.
