And is it available in Canada?

It's called "Get Rid of Boat Odors--A Guide to Marine Sanitation Systems
and Other Sources of Aggravation and Odor." The publisher is Seaworthy
Publications (my sig includes a link to it on their site).

And is it available in Canada?

I don't know if it's on the shelf anywhere in Canada yet, but Amazon has
it. You can also buy it directly from my publisher...or, if you'd like a
signed copy, from the online store on the sailboatowners.com site (they
sell it, I sign and mail it for them) at
http://shop.sailboatowners.com/detai...=400&group=327

Thanks for asking!

Yes, Peggie, it's available here in Toronto and likely elsewhere. A
new liveaboard friend of mine bought it last month and recommends it
highly.

It's posted at http://www.nauticalmind.com , a very good Toronto
bookshop. If I review it for our club newsletter, I will forward you
the review.

You should consider appearing at the Toronto International Boat Show
this January. It's a vast event and you'll soon learn how many fans
you have on Lake Ontario, where we endeavour to keep the black out of
the blue. 'Cause we drink it, eventually. G

I would love to, but it's a bit late to plan for this coming January.
Maybe in '05. Are there seminars at the Toronto show?

Peggy...here on the east coast, we discharge the heads through the hull.
If I bought a modest sized sailboat inland that might have a chemical toilet
with a pumpout fitting on the deck...
how hard would it be to convert to a thru hull discharge?
Would I have to tear the old head out and buy a new one?

There are no coastal (or inland) waters in the whole US--east coast,
west coast, or Gulf--in which it's legal to discharge raw untreated
toilet waste directly overboard or dump a tank. So unless you're only
using the the head when you're out to sea at least 3 miles from the
nearest point on the whole US coastline, or it's going through CG
certified Type I MSD (device that treats waste before discharging it
overboard) first, you're discharging it overboard illegally.

You'd only have to install a y-valve in the pumpout hose, and a line
coming off it that goes to the through-hull, with a macerator pump
inline to empty the tank.

Would I have to tear the old head out and buy a new one?

Nope.
