[C320-list] Macerator

[wflowe3 at aim.com]

 While on the subject of the macerator, I would like to remove the thru-hull shutoff handel so my boat becomes a little more "lake legal". It is located under the starboard settee and has very limited space between the shutoff and the holding tank. I can get a short phillips screw driver into the hole in the handle but cannot get enough hand torque to unscrew anything.  Since the valve is plastic, I;m concerned about breaking something and letting the lake in. Any thoughts?

Tim,

Mine is Jabsco 18590-0000.
I have downloaded the Owners Manual to the website  
(http://www.catalina320.com/filemgmt/viewcat.php?cid=6) for the benefit of  
all our dues-paying members.
(P. S. Thanks for being a member of the association).
The manual has lots of info on maintenance and parts replacement (which  
may or may not be available!!).

Karl
