Cal,

You didn't indicate how long you're gone; "when I return". Minutes, hours,
or days. It sounds initially like you have a problem with you're jocker
valve. Easy to replace.

[C320-list] Head Back Flow






Hello from the Pacific North West:
I seem to have inherited a problem from my previous boat. Water flowing
back into the head from the holding tank.
I use the KISS system of using the shower/sink fresh water as a source for
flushing so usually leave the leaver in the Dry position all the time.
My problem is when I return to the head and find the bowl half full of
(#*^@) I have tried leaving the selector leaver on the head in both
directions (wet/dry) with no change in results.
Asked a few owners about this problem, while some say "leave the leaver in
the dry position", it would seem I am not the only one experiencing this
problem.
The head works fine with only this hick-up, so have not tried to dismantle
the unit to date.  Should I dive in and check the system or is there
something I have missed in the instructions?  After all, I am a man and
who needs to read manuals?
