[C320-list] Lack of Section with Head Pump & New Boat

Hi Allan and others for your suggestions for the Head Pump. I usually use
the Sudbury toilet conditioner/cleaner and always pump fresh water through
each time I leave the boat.  Occasionally I use extra virgin olive oil.
Extravagent I know but it means I can use the same oil for the salad so it
saves on storage space.
We're not in the new boat yet - but I am hopeful that we may be by the end
of May or at least by the end of June once all NSW Maritime requirements for
survey have been met.  The grey water tank has now been installed under the
seats below deck on the port side.  This isn't a space we ever used so
having it there won't be a nuisance.

Annie - Do you use head lube?  West Marine (are they in Sydney?) sells
bottles of this stuff that we use on a monthly basis.  After 5 seasons, no
problems with the head.  Are you in the new boat yet?

Usually the problem with the head seems to be it becoming too stiff to pump.
My toilet (only one year old as I replaced it with a new Jabsco last year)
has recently started to not be stiff enough.  Sometimes it works fine - but
seems to slip slightly.  At other times if you pump the handle briskly up
and down you suddenly get suction but at other times you pump the handle up
and down, fast or slow, but with no suction - and no water flow.  Any ideas?
I'm getting worried how I'm going to clean out the contents of the bowl if
it won't pump.
