sewer drain valve pull

qdadq · 11-11-2005, 06:47 PM

The last time out I was closing the sewer drain and suddenly there was little or no resistance. I then found the drain had not fully closed, so I believe the cable has broke or come unhooked. Have any of you had this, and is it something that an owner can tackle to repair?

We have a HR 36' and my sewer hose valve is due to be changed. The cable or valve is not closing properly. I have a new valve cable to change out when the wheather warms up.

I dread taking all that belly cover down.

Well I couldn't waite any longer. I took down the under belly covering to expose the gate valves. I replaced the pull cables and greased the cables with tefelon king pin grease. I also loosened the valve seals and greased the valve stem. The stem is what was sticking. I have pictures of the holding tanks and valves. If anyone would like to view them drop me an email @ lloydioc@yahoo.com. The valves work great now. Lloyd
