Our toilet has started to complain loudly at each flush.  Has anyone overhauled their toilet (new seals, new motor, etc?). We are on the Rideau Canal at Smiths Falls, Ontario awaiting repair parts from Defender.  Parts seem to be hung up in shipment.

That happened on my boat a few weeks ago. There was a cherry pit in with the impeller. It made a terrible noise. No new parts needed, just needed to remove the cherry pit. Of course, you could have some other issue. Good luck with your project.

Greetings Harry-
Just did it on Tug A Long, 1997 32 FB.
The clunking was broken motor mounts for the VacUFlush vacuum pump. While replacing installed new duck bill valves.

Thanks for the reply, but I was looking for information specific to my JABSCO head.

Thanks, Paul, for the response.  I am reluctant to disassemble the toilet until the parts arrive.  They seem to be stuck in Canada Customs, so will have to wait until Monday to give them a call.
