I think I got it done

Re: Muriatic Acid in Head - How Do You Get It Into Intake?

Here’s another problem that just occurred to me. When I have let the acid solution sit and then pump into the holding tank to clean that line, how do I get it out of the holding tank? I wouldn’t...

Re: Muriatic Acid in Head - How Do You Get It Into Intake?

Re: Muriatic Acid in Head - How Do You Get It Into Intake?

Thanks for the explanation of the vent HopCar. That makes sense as far as the anti siphon and maybe why there is not one on the holding tank. I will remove it and clean it just to make sure it is not...

Re: Muriatic acid in head-how do you get it into intake?

Re: Muriatic acid in head-how do you get it into intake?

PS..... I do intend to haul and add strainer into intake line this summer while I am changing through hulls, etc. to help prevent the sea life from entering, but need to get it out now.

Muriatic Acid in Head - How Do You Get It Into Intake?

My boat’s head has a very unpleasant odor. It seems to have issues when I flush. I believe there may be some blockage around the rim where the (sea) water comes into the bowl. I also think there may...
