... and the 2nd one was the new Raritan Marine Elegance electric-flush Head ...

... EVERYONE really likes this one, a push of the button and gonzo. You can even press the button while sitting there and gonzo ... that comes in handy ! Anything that helps the crew want to be on the boat more is a no-brainer for me. So far so good, ask me a few years from now when something breaks and I can't mechanically pump/flush the Head. But at the moment we're all happy campers and I don't notice any increase in daily Ah usage. Got rid of all those little (expensive) Raritan spares & re-build kits for the 25 year old PHII (which incidentally worked great and lasted that long w/no problems, other than routine maintenance & parts). I was so happy with the new toilet, I had to go ahead and redo the Head with several fresh coats of Epi Gloss and Rubbed Effect, new door hardware, a new mirror and removed all the old and replace with new caulk (Sikaflex). That platform the Head sits on is Corian, and some day I'll replace the Lav countertop with the same thing.

Cheers, John
