First, thank you to all who support this site. It has been very helpful as owner of a Morgan 384.
When we purchased R Luna Sea it had a Jabsco 18590 Macerator mounted in the wet locker, just forward of the nav table on starboard. It had not been used, although it appears to be new. I have not been able to get it to draw from the holding tank. I wondered what others are using for a macerator when asking it to lift the 5 feet or so from the holding tank. This is at the outer bounds of the spec for the Jabsco macerator's priming ability.
I will attempt a follow-up post with a photo to show the setup.
I have tested the Jabsco macerator by connecting a 53" pipe and pumping from a one gallon bucket. It failed to lift any water that high. I then connected a 24" pipe. It pumped well.
My understanding is that others are having success with this design and I would welcome feedback on types of macerators being used.
Sincerely,
Maurice Hollingsworth
