The boat has had a Vacuflush leak of some kind for the 2 season/years I have owned it. I had it looked at, and worked on, in Kent Island, MD, before I brought it home. The Vacuflush cycles for about 10 seconds every hour or so. The duck bills were replaced then, same issue. The seal at the base of the toilet was replaced then, same issue. Local service guy looked at it and said given how slow the leak is, and it's difficult to wait for it to cycle again, try this, try that, he suggested replacing the sanitation line. I have replaced one of those before in a previous boat, I'd like to know what else to check before I go that route.
It's not a big deal, more of a nuisance especially when sleeping in the aft area, next to the engine compartment. It has not gotten any worse over 2 years/seasons. The bowl holds water. I think, emphasis on think, I can hear hissing when in the head and near the toilet.
I found this: https://www.clubsearay.com/index.php?threads/vacuflush-vacuum-leak.79273/ and thought about ordering the kit and "throwing more parts at it". Is that the next step?
Also, I forgot to check "what I have" the last time I was on the boat, so I checked here: https://manualzz.com/doc/23601617/sea-ray-2001-380-sundancer-parts-manual pages 33 & 34, I do not see a make and model though.
Thanks
