Manual or Electric Head? It is time to Replace.
I had a rather unpleasant experience sailing on July 4th. One of my guests managed to break the head while pumping. On the up-stroke he completely separated the top of the pump assembly tearing out six screws in the process. Since the price of a new pump is only a few dollars less than the price of a new toilet I decided to replace. I removed the old Jabsco compact manual toilet and went to West Marine where a sales person highly recommended the Jabsco Compact Electric Toilet. This is an extra $400 over the manual model but I started to think that it might not be a bad idea. To be honest, I am getting tired of explaining the workings of a marine toilet to guests who manage to forget everything you told them when they actually go to use the head. Everyone knows how to push a button. I certainly don't want a repeat of the July 4th fiasco. So here are my questions for anyone who has installed this electric toilet. Are you happy with it? I notice that all the photos of this toilet show the motor on the back of the toilet, is it adjustable so that it will work to the right (while facing the toilet) where there is more room on my boat? Any and all advice will be greatly appreciated. Ken |
