[C320-list] Jabsco head pump question

[Dean Vermeire]

I know this may sound like a stupid question, but when you talk about 
switching the "head toggle" to the left, you aren't referring to the 
y-valve for the shower sump and refrigerator drain are you?

The through-hull for the head intake is under the sink in the bathroom 
on our 320 (#847).  Opening the stopcock puts the handle perpendicular 
to the hull and inline with the hose.
