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. |

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. RB 35s5 NY |

Instead of replacing what is probably a perfectly good head, you would
probably be better served by getting Peggy's book on the subject. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com "Capt. Rob" wrote in message oups.com...

Perhaps more fun, but not as smart.

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!
