Problems on Dora Mac usually comes and goes and sometimes we have long periods without any major issues.

On this trip they seem to come in regular intervals and now we got problems with the solenoid to the forward Tecma toilet. Not switching off after finished flushing it flooded the toilet incapacitating the domestic water system.

A new solenoid was ordered to Oldport Marine and new connections and adapters were found in West Marine (yes, in Newport it´s still open although I understand that Westmarine has gone bankrupt ) and I spent half a day under the sink in the guest toilet replacing the old solenoid. The old one has served a long time and looks more solid than the new original replacement. Tecma has been bought up by Thetford Marine (part of Dyson-Kissner-Moran corporation). Guess which one of the solenoids have the best profit margin ? Best longevity ?
