3207 Head Seacocks

Post by dhc400 »

Hi Everyone,

Just picked up my new to me 1989 3207 Aft and am having trouble with both heads.

It doesn’t seem like any water is getting to the heads, they basically explode in your face when you pump (both are manual, one a Jabsco' the other not sure), can some one help direct me to the location of the Seacocks, just want to make sure they are open before any next steps are taken. Thanks

Congrats on your new acquisition and welcome aboard.

Regardless of whether you're getting water or not, if you have the selector in the empty position, it should not "explode" in your face. If it's doing that, she's due for a rebuild kit.

Hopefully someone with the same model boat will chime in with the position of the seacocks.

There may not be seacocks. Some models were built with the water source being the water tank. That was mostly with electric heads though. But, maybe it was originally electric, and changed over to vacu by PO. 8-) er

Open up every hatch near the head and follow the hose. FYI, Carver is very good at hiding hatches in out of the way places.
If you do end up going the rebuild kit way, just suck it up and do it. It's not complicated at all. I've done 3-4 over the years.

On my 1991 3207 there is a single seacock behind the starboard engine. It’s easiest to access it through the hatch at the base of the entry stairs. Mine has a Tee that makes its way to the forward and aft heads.
