[C320-list] Jabsco head pump question

[Chris Burti]

This happened to me s a couple of weeks ago and either "Sounds like
maybe the thru-hull intake is closed rather than open. Put it into the
other position and then pump." fixed the problem or my vigourous
pumping of the head pump picked up the lost prime after  I moved the
seacock back and forth...whichever..it works fine again...I do have my
intake line for the anchor washdown pump tee'd into the head intake
and there was a leak in the hose, so it may have simply lost prime or
both.
