I spent three hours last night ripping apart my vacuflush pump because it wouldn't flush. Guess what i found?????? paper towels for one and a plastic applicator sucked into my duck bill. I had to pull the hose from the pump to the tank to get the paper towels out and out washed about a gallon of you know what. myself and the bildge smelled like something died 3 weeks ago. :smt021

I almost added vomit to the mixture.

I've made a menstruation inspection mandatory on my boat from now on.
 
If it's yellow, let it mellow...
If it's brown, flush it down...
If it's red, leave her in bed and go boating yourself!

That sucks... Been there, done that...
 
Let us know when you come up with proper signage for the head. I think you could turn this into a winning deal if you have the right icon! I can just imagine....
 
I've been toying with the idea of a sign that says "Only things that have been eaten or drank can go in this toilet"

With some fine print at the bottom of the sign:

"Violators will be required to disassemble the sewage system and retrieve other items"
 
when i had my daughter's softball team out on the boat, as uncomfortable as it was, i had to have a talk about what can and can not go in the head.

after that was over, we covered life jackets and stuff.
 
Brings a whole new meaning to Red Head :smt009
Sorry, for the trouble.
Sounds like you need a sign, much like the ones you see in people's places with septic tanks....otherwise I agree with Gary, they need to experience the aftermath.....or whatever
 
I have my wife have a pleasant conversation with female guests, as she's seen me perform the aforementioned repairs.
 
I've had that happen twice. I put a small waste basket in the head. We tell everyone that the only things that go in the toilet is the toilet paper. Anything else goes in the wastebasket. So far no problems.
 
ugggh.. I had a similar problem w/ my litte pump out... fortunately it made its was slowly up the tubing.. and stuck in the fun clear view window on the docks pump out machine. I pointed it out to all the ladies and admonished them on being idiots. Then I handed the dock hand an extra $20 as he had to disassemble the hose assembly and retrieve the mess.
 
Been there, done that! :smt009

Now, I have a sign on the door in the head that says:

"Please do not put anything in the head unless you have eaten it first"

A sign on the other side of the door says:

"The beatings will continue until morale improves"

Let's not forget who the captain (and chief pot cleaner) is here. :smt013
 
i dont get it - isnt this something every woman (and man) knows? you dont throw these products in ANY toilet, even one at home. i would have NEVER thought this would have to be explained to anyone who wasnt just beamed here from the planet Moron.
 
Ron....one word.....TEENAGERS.....they won't get it no matter HOW many times you explain it..... :smt021 ......My daughter is just outgrowing those years....thank God...but between her and her friends, going back a few years, I've had to get very intimitae with a few Duck Bill repairs.....

BTW....I think they ARE from a different planet.... :grin:
