New boating w/ toilet pump pressure issue
have a 1908 Scarab 377 and when I try to pump the toilet, i only get a very small amount of water go into it...and when i use the sink pump I get no water coming out of it...Is there a common problem I should be looking for? I filled the fresh water tank (though I havent located it yet), but I did locate the holding tank...

Did you look for a valve to open up ? I'm guessing there is some sort of valve between the holding tank and the toilet/sink. I have a ball valve located behind my toilet, and its always been closed (never used the toilet or sink in my Scarab). Keep searching.

Only the 377 had a toilet in 1908. Seriously though, does the sink have an electric pump or is it a manual pump up? If it's a manual pump, there are seals that probably need replaced by now. If it's electric, there is a bowl that sometimes needs cleaned out because of scale,ect build up especially if water or rv antifreeze was allowed to dry out. Keep looking for that valve though.
