Hello All,
Currently on our Mainship 34 Pilothouse we have a Jabsco raw water compact electric flush toilet and I hate it. The bowl is to small and I think it makes way to much noise. It is one of the items that I would like to upgrade to make life on the boat more user friendly. I have read a lot of posts and manufacturers brochures on the different marine toilets on the market. I think I could just remove the compact bowl on my exsisting head and replace it with the household size but I am not sure if I could just get the bowl itself and that still leaves me with the noise issue. So I am leaning towards the Raritan Elegance. How ever I am not sure if I should go with a raw water or fresh water model. It seems to me that the raw water model has a seperate pump and requires more amps to run then the fresh water model. But then I wonder if the Raritan fresh water would use to much water. I only have a 70 gallon fresh water tank. Does anyone have first hand experience switching out the current Jabsco model I have to the Raritan Elegance? Does the wiring need to be upgraded for the sea water model? Will the plumbing need to be altered? Sorry for all the questions but I am pretty clueless on marine toilet plumbing. Any and all advice is welcomed and appreciated. Thanks, Kevin
