Cobalt 276 No Water Flow for Marine Toilet

I was a little late getting the boat in the water this year. I was travelling, I have a motor trim issue, then I spent a couple of days detailing inside and buff, polish, waxing to remove some oxidation.

Anyway, I finally got the boat in the water last Sunday. First use of the head and no water is flowing into the bowl. The head does flush but I can't figure out why I am not getting water. I check the seacock valve and it shows open, I have had this boat for 9 years and I have experienced this before. The toilet is a Jabsco electric model #37010. So, I just press a button and the electric motor flushes.

What else can I do to troubleshoot?

OK, I did verify that the seacock is functioning. I pulled the hose from the seastrainer and opened the valve there is water coming in. So, next step is to check the seastrainer? I am guessing the impeller failed on the toilet but that seems like a bigger job that pulling the seastrainer.

Apparently, the plug in the seastrainer is important. It was loose and I couldn’t get suction.
