Default Air Head, or not under pressure to perform...

Skip, the problem is that you are pumping by hand. Everyone that I
know who has tried an electric head has never gone back, and you won't
either. If you don't believe me, try converting one of your two heads
to electric and let me know which one you like better after 6 months
of cruising.


Replace maybe, but converting any manual toilet to electric is a very
bad idea, 'cuz all the motor does is replace the pump handle...it's
still a manual toilet, but with a whole new set of problems. Almost
everyone I know who's put a motor on a manual toilet has gotten so fed
up that they took the motor off and reverted to manual again.
