Toilet orientation
Dag Stenberg wrote:
Why is it considered better design to have the marine toilet in a sailing yacht oriented lengthwise rather than transversely? What is your opinion? The only reason I can think of is space in the head compartment...they're usually longer fore-aft than wide, which provides the necessary space for knees while sitting when the toilet faces foreward or aftward that wouldn't be there if the toilet were mounted port-starboard. As far as the plumbing is concerned, it doesn't matter...so if you're trying to decide which way to put it, just make sure you have room to sit down on it. -- Peggie ---------- Peggie Hall Specializing in marine sanitation since 1987 Author "Get Rid of Boat Odors - A Guide To Marine Sanitation Systems and Other Sources of Aggravation and Odor" http://shop.sailboatowners.com/books...ku=90&cat=1304 |
