Electric flush

[Thumper74]

The head is electric flush. Should I keep it or replace it with something else??? Pros and cons of any other choice?

We had a regular Jabsco marine toilet with manual pump and levers and prolapsed joker valve assembly that was so non-intuitive to work that our lower GI tract quit working the first few days of each new season out.

We removed that beauty and installed a Dometic five gallon porta-potty with the MSD fittings so you can pump it out. I was going to remove the 13 or so gallon holding tank that was under the starboard vee but figured why not connect the MSD fitting to an electric non-macerating whale toilet pump and empty it into the existing tank? We can transfer three full portapotty’s worth into the holding tank before we start getting nervous.

We like this setup since it greatly extends our capacity since it uses so little water, compared to the old Jabsco. This arrangement works great for us.

The holding tank is being elusive. I have not yet found it. It seems to be removed. On the electric head, there is a small looking tank directly under the head. And a whole other contraption separate with a few hoses attached and some electrical. Although there is a Y fitting. One side goes up to the pump out on deck. One side goes to a thru hull. One side is connected to the head. Haven’t gave much of a look over on the whole “”head department “” yet.
