What type of system to do have? Is it a Vacuflush? Can you confirm that the "Raw" water you mention is actual sea water or are you drawing water from the fresh water tank?

Is the waste tank empty? If so, I’d replace the duckbills. Might want to do a pump rebuild too while you’re at it (not that bad a job).

Can you hear the vacuflush pump working? Does the head make the loud sucking sound when you flush it? Was it working properly at one time and now it is not? As previous poster mentioned, it maybe time for a pump/tank rebuild. Not a tough job but certainly a messy one.
