This Boat Job Stank! Servicing Our Tecma Toilet (Ep.54 | Sailing ARGO)

This was one of those boat jobs everyone hopes will fix itself… but it didn’t. Our Tecma macerating toilet has been excellent – quiet, simple to use, and with great flush action. But on the trip home we noticed something wasn’t right. Instead of one press to evacuate, it was taking two… sometimes three. Clearly there was a blockage, and just as clearly, nobody was rushing to deal with it. Eventually, the day came. Jason bravely opened things up and found some seriously clogged pipes. What followed was a full (and fairly unpleasant) clean-out of the system – definitely not a job for the faint-hearted. The good news? Once everything was back together, she flushed like a dream again. Problem solved – hopefully for a good long while. This isn’t an instructional how-to, but if you’ve got an onboard loo, there are definitely lessons here that might save you pain (and smell) down the track. Just… maybe don’t watch while you’re eating... Thanks for watching.
