[C320-list] Macerator

[Darrell]

Hi John,

The shaft is turning, sounds like the impeller blades. I believe it is a 
jabsco but I could be wrong. Not sure if I save more time taking the unit 
apart on the boat or just removing the whole thing and taking it home. I 
will try and find my receipt and see if is still under warranty,

Darrell
