Years ago when I bought my boat used, it came with a marine head and
unused holding tank. I forget what brand the head was except that it
was the highest rated one by Practical Sailor. I hated it. No matter
what I did, replacing all hoses, rinsing it, etc, it stank and so did
the boat. I spent more time working on it than all other boat systems
put together. One day in a fit of "I'm gonna simplify my life", I took
it out, wired the thru-hulls shut and replaced it with a porta-potti.
Then I carried that damned thing around in my truck for awhile till a
sailing buddy saw it and asked about it and I gave it to him. I then
gave the holding tank to someone else. Now, both of these people still
act as if I had done them some huge favor when all I wanted to do was
get rid of it. So, for getting rid of the smell of **** and gaining
some storage space, they think I am a great friend, best investment I
ever made.
After 2 porta-pottis, I am still very happy I did this and my boating
life is much easier and less smelly.

Heads on boats are amazingly simple deviced that boggle the mind often.
I had an electric head on the C&C 32 which worked as reliably as the
one in your home. The Beneteau has a simple hand pump version and I'm
ready to throw a better one in if it starts a fight.

Instead of replacing what is probably a perfectly good head, you would
probably be better served by getting Peggy's book on the subject.

More fun to spend 800 bucks and own a head that's nicer that Scotty's
whole boat!

Oh for Mercy of the Gods!!! I can't believe that anyone would prefer to
hand lug their **** bucket through the salon and claim easy living. Hang
your fat ass over the rail you lazy fin keeler..... or make use of a Cedar
Bucket like Capt. Neal!

A porta potty can take a lot of crap, maybe not from Scotty Potty and
his wife, but from normal humans...yes. And there's always the bucket.
Potty tips his hand again!
