Thank you so much for filming this. I thought there was only a joker valve in the wall. I did not know about the one below the bowl. Now it's time to get this s**t done. SV Next Day On
BTW if you have a 2017 Helia your joker valve is in the wall. And if u need access to the owners tank it’s behind the potty. You will need a suction cup to get it out because if you only lift from the bottom it gets in a bind and won’t move. Telling you as a friend you will crack 😢 the pretty laminate. Fortunately we stopped and it’s not that bad. Hope this helps others. Thanks again Heidi & Franny for videoing it really helped
You need to put multiple floats on that key. Franny is definitely braver than me and I'm an Army veteran. I have owned ten boats and I had to replace the heads on three of them. I couldn't tell you how many macerator impellers I've had to replace over the years. I replaced the first head and the first impeller myself. After those nightmares I decided that paying a professional whatever they wanted to fix a head was worth it.
looks like any of your winch handles will fit the caps.... and if you can,, always use fresh water.... salt water will create that Cristal mess and also stink to high ***** after a few months in the hose.... but more important is what have you done with the cats boxes..?
We have all fresh water heads except for one, which has been sealed off. Our cat boxes are in our master shower. At some point, once our refit is complete. We will do a full boat tour.
Cruisers talk about two things way more than anybody who doesn't cruise would expect. Cruisers talk about poo almost as much as parents of newborns. Cruisers also talk about the weather in terms that most people simply wouldn't understand.
Great video guys!
Thanks Stephen. We can't wait to have you come visit us on the boat!
The almond “dark chocolate” container right next to the toilet was quite the visual juxtaposition.
Lol

you should have a keychain float on the deckfiller/cleanout tool

Oh, the key for the pump-out? Franny told me we can always use the manual winch handles. I did consider buying one off of eBay as an extra. .
@@HeidiandFrannyit looks like a big external torx or triple square bit? Maybe get one to use with the socket set as a backup?
Amazing that such a small part can create such trouble
Yep!
🤣🤣🤣Yeah always a fun job... great stuff I love how you can make such a rotten job so interesting! That looks like Annapolis??
Thanks Graeme! Yes, I was last summer.

engineer, mechanic, sailor, now plumber. What can't Franny do?
She always amazes me! Heidi.

Hilarious! 😂
That's nice to hear.

Totally, right?
Gross subject matter in this video. But you made it funny, nonetheless!
Thanks!
