>>> I can suggest a better pump (than a macerator pump) if you want to
consider it. A Sealand T
series diaphragm pump can handle almost anything without clogging... Much more
reliable than a macerator pump. Keith

I believe the above is true (I installed the new Jabsco pump instead of the
Sealand pump because it fit better in my situation but they both are diaphragm
pumps). However, a word of caution: the outlet hose is bigger than on a
macerator pump so I had to install a larger thru-hull. This was not an
inexpensive project. (I can just see the next post on how to replace a
thru-hall while the boat is still in the water!)
