I have to agree with you and JohnH, I would hate to have a porta potty on
board any boat, either on mine, or a friends. # 1 over the side, or in the
water, #2 is in a marina. There are too many ways for a porta potty to make
a mess in a boat, none of them pretty.

If you are having bowel problems and can not hold a BM, you probably should
not be on the boat.

Indeed. And actually they are the owners, not

brothers.

Back in 1989 or so we docked at this marina when we had our Chris
Craft
210
Scorpion. We left when we purchased our Sea Ray 270 Sundancer.
Same
owners. Same friendly attititude. Electric and water at the dock.
Drive
up
with a nice grassy area at the dock and some 75 feet deep behind us
on
the
other side of the access road (with trees for shade). Nothing
fancy
but
we
don't need that anymore as we will not be spending the weekend on
the
boat.....day trips only then back home.

The downside is that the restroom (near the main office) is a good
4-5
minute walk away......I take the car when I am lazy or exhausted
from
working on the boat. ;-)

You would sooner see us heading to the bathroom on a bicycle.

Some folks have golf carts.......most walk or use their car. I
will
soon
be putting the porta potty on the boat.......except for #1 the
restroom
trips will not be needed. I will however, have to empty the darn
thing.

Oh how I miss our bigger boats with a bathroom and holding tank. ;-)


My boat had a porta-potty. The wife wanted it left in, and I wanted
it
out.
Finally I told her that if she would clean it, it could stay in the
boat,
but I was not going to clean it.

Now it's where it belongs - somewhere in the basement, to be
reinstalled
when we sell the boat!

I take it she does not go out on the boat with you anymore.

There is really nothing hard to maintain a porta potty.


Oh, she goes, but she doesn't use a potty in the boat. If times get
rough,
we put in somewhere.

Well, it wouldn't be very nice for me *not* to put in some where!

So far, for the past seven years anyway, it's not been a problem. How
have
you managed without the porta-potty on the boat?

Hell, when we had the Whaler we had no room for a porta-potty, but we had
a
great time with it!

For number 1, it is a bucket. Number 2, means stop at a marina or hike
into the woods. Only Porta-Potty we have is for the camper and that is
only for #1 unless desperate.

A very nice thing they did

I had one incident where a guy got seasick and was going from both ends! I
gave him a roll of toilet paper and a bucket with some water in it. He was
so happy I didn't throw him overboard that he even washed the bucket!

Another considerate person thinking of the needs of his
wife..............Come on honey, if you have to go so bad just squat over
the gunwhale and let it go. ;-)

Name them.

I *never* had any problems when we had porta potties in our smaller boats.

There is really nothing hard to maintain a porta potty.

Except for the cleaning the foul smelling thing.

A very nice thing they did
 

If yours is foul smelling you need to learn to maintain it properly.

Ours is generally used only for #1, but #2 in an emergency. In that
case I empty it immediately once getting back to the dock.

Like I said, I never had any problems.

Hmm, you don't think that feces and urine smell foul????

I ALWAYS keep a roll of toilet paper on my bass boat!!!! And, when in a
pinch, I've been known to use my underwear, and leave them!

Now *there* is a sentence that can be used to alleviate all sorts of
foulness.
