Thanks for your information.My problem is much simpler. It is not leaking. The connections just get loose. For security we also switch off the water pump now while sailing or beeing under deck.
See picture.

	I had the same problem (see pictures) -- the Turkish Hanse dealer then exchanged all blue tubes by other ones with less diameter -- since then we had no leakage any more. Regarding our toilet problem: the Turkish dealer (TRIO DENIZ) also exchanged both toilets -- this practically eliminated the problem -- no back pressure any more, much easier to operate, sometimes still some air coming back but only little amount. It seems, that the toilets pumped too much air into the tube towards the tank, and that this air was causing the trouble. Best regards -- Alain

	Hi Guys I bought my 445 end of last year. Had the same small problems some of you had with water leaks/etc but they were fixed and some other minor issues also had been dealt by Inspiration Marine. One problem I am facing now is that the aft toilet brings sometimes smell to the mail saloon, coming from the section where the electric panel is. I checked all the pipes and no of them have any leak. If you discharge it then it smells even more for a while. We clean the tank with detergent/etc but smell always comes back, specially after emptying it. My only thinking is that may be some air leak comes form the air vent connection to the hull? Any ideas or some had same problem before? Many Thanks

	We had the same problems on our 470. After many searches and all what has been said above as possible solution we found out that we had two tea bags in the elbow of the hull shutter fully stuck. We do not rent out the boat nor have we put teabags in the Jabsco. So our only conclusion is that this is a factory caused problem. NO more problems since. Jos.

	Hi, we have the same problem but from the master toilet. I have also no idea where the smell comes from and basically gave up as well. Any hint is appreciated HanaFe

	Hi all just stop using sea water to flush, use the shower head and pump out only. its the bugs in sea water that die and decompose that causes the smell cheers David P

	I am not talking about the normal smell from seawater flushing. I am talking about a smell from the holing tanks or the the ventilation system of the holding tanks. I had several boats before and could always control the seawater smell either buy using fresh water as much as possible or on one boat, I even installed a secpond valve directly at the toilet bowl which eliminated all smell.

	Hi, I agree with Hanafe. The smell is somewhat wierd, sometimes I get the impression it has nothing to do with the toilet/tanks system. I am one of those who remove the speedmeter everytime i dont use the boat for a week or two. Cleaning and drying properly this compartiment seems to be helping....fingers crossed.
