The original Y valve in my 1984 CD25D has failed and Jabsco tells me that the model 43003-0422 is no longer avail.
All of the avail valves I see are much larger and very difficult to fit into the head area.
Has anyone else done a Y valve replacement and if so what model(manu) did you use.

Re: Head Y valve
Chuck,
I replaced mine with the new Jabsco. It is huge, but has articulated hose connections so it's easier to fit. I screwed it into the bulkhead just below the hanging locker doors. I replaced the hoses as well. The head in the 25D is such a visual feature (yuck!), when you look into the cabin, that the large Y-valve doesn't make much difference. A wierd thing about it is that the handle points to the CLOSED path. So you're filling the holding tank when you think you're feeding the fishies. I'd send a pic but the boat's wrapped up for the winter.
