Head Maintenance - Drain and Pump Replacement - 2004 Maxum 2400SE
The head on the 2400SE needed some work and with the boat put away for a few months I decided I was going to replace the bad parts. When I bought the boat the head pump would not fill from the seacock and the shower drain was rotted away. I dreaded changing it out but it ended up being super easy. Once I removed the fridge I was excited not only to see the easy access but to also see access to all of the wiring and other fittings that I thought were sealed in the bulkhead.
I am actually going to leave the fridge out for a month while I run spotlight wiring and make a small berth cabinet where the AC would have gone. There is even an extra set of wires prerun for some optional accessory. I might even get rid of the fridge and figure out an ice chest on a slide in rack.
So, whether you are replacing the fridge, plumbing, drains or electrical the steps are similar:
4 screws to remove the fridge (cut DC wires and unplug 110)
2 hose clamps to remove the old hose and elbow
Clean and prep new/old parts
Install new strainer/drain and have a beverage
The toilet pump was also easy too:
Unhook white and black hose
Unscrew large outlet flange (optional: leave flange and hose assembled)
Unscrew four base screws
Replace unit and base gasket
Connect it all back up

Below are some pictures of the process. The first picture is the one the previous owner sent me before I bought the boat. The last picture is what it looks like after I finished the remodel
