Get ahold of Martin Marine. I'm sure Tres/Jackie can help you. If not let me know. I have a couple of bullets. I'm pretty sure they are made just for Cig. Whats wrong with the one you have?

Re: Head
 

Sorry don't know about the bullet but my TG had a standard small jabsco unit. It was disasembled and the pump moved to allow for clearance.

Martin Marine has been my source of info too. Always helpful.

Brownie just said last week in a thread that the bowls for the Bullet head were made in house. You might want to contact him or Scott Smith, he probably snagged a few of them as well on his way out the door!! :eek: :D :D :p

If it's stained (no pun intended) it can easily be repainted as I did with the '89. The bottom of the drain on the '88 is steel that rust's, the '89 is plastic. Crappy job to replace that but very simple.
Also, since you have that out you may want to check out the holding tank. It is probably corroded and needs to be replaced. The company that makes them are still in biz. There is a mfg label on the top of the tank and they'll send one to your door.

Hey Cig 1988,

Yes, it is the steel on the bottom of the bowl that has rust. Do you know where I can find a plastic one to replace or new steel?

Thanks

You'll need to remove the assy and take it to home depot or a plumbing supply. Should have either plastic or brass. If not a marine supply store as west marine.
As far as the rust stain, clean the unit really good and scuff with scotch bite pad. I usually paint with imron but if thats not possible, get rust oleum "proffesional grade" white gloss. Do not use the other rust oleum because it does'nt dry as fast between coats. You can simply tape up the 2 water discharges on each side or remove them. I taped mine up and cant tell.
How's the holding tank?

Re: Head
 

Thanks Cig 1988,

I don't know how the holding tank looks, I plan to tackle the project during the winter. Thanks

Re: Head
 

Since you have the bowl out, would be good time to tackle that as well. You need to remove the strorage compartment to the right of the sink. Crappy job, wear gloves. Hope this helps, Stan

Re: Head
 

Stan,
In the event that I need a new holding tank, where do I buy one?

Re: Head
 

Evan, On the very top of the tank there will be the manufactures sticker. I think there may be a phone# on it, if not do the 411 search on the phone. If you cant find it, let me know and I'll pull my storage compartment out and try to get it. There should be a model # on it to make it a simple deal when you call them.

Re: Head
 

Did you guys ever get this done?

I redid my fresh water system last year and wanted to just replace all of the head stuff this winter. The center piece of the bowl on mine is rusty as well and I would like to replace that. How does the bowl come up. I'm assumming that I just remove the screws and lift it up???

Also, Where is the holding tank located? For some reason, I thought that it is under the footrest @ the helm?????

Re: Head
 

Its still on my list, I have not had the time to tackle this project. Let me know how it goes.

Re: Head
 

The bowl should come right out. You may need to cut around the edges to break the silicon bead. WEAR GLOVES! You will probably find a ton of mold as well. Take a spray bottle w/clorox and disinfect the entire area and rinse well. Ventilate the cabin when you do this. Remove the upper storage compartment next to the sink. After that you have all the access in the world. The holding tank is right under the the storage compartment. There is a label from the manufacturer in the event yours is corroded and most like is. The mnfg will ship you a new tank. Good luck!

Re: Head
 

Thanks Stan!!!!

That's the info that I was looking for. It must be the Cafe or TG that it's under the footrest....or I'm going crazy!!!!! :crazy: :crazy: :drink:

Re: Head
 

Anytime Craig. Since your under there you may want to change the sea water pump as well. Its the old style with the eccentric looking thing. One good thing is that alot of Cig's vendors attach thier labels with thier products. The alum holding tanks ususally corrode on the bottom where it sits on the platform. What I did was spaced the "L" brackets up 1/2" to prolong the life of it.
