I should note that I've seen more than one or two boats that had
the head mounted fore-and-aft, centerline, in the bow. While
this takes great advantage of space, I shudder to think of using
that head underway in any kind of chop.

Ah. I can tell you all about that. Got airborne when butting
through the wake of a high speed ferry. Landed off centre.
Pedestal broke off at the base . . . need I say more?

Four stitches.

The real answer is two heads, one each side of the vessel, each
set athwartships. For serious work, you can then inhabit the
downhill one, and rest in peace with your back against the
bulkhead. Much better than being pitched nose forward from the
uphill one, pants around your ankles . . . need I say more?

Broken nose and dignity.
