[C320-list] electric toilet conversion

[wes.giles at averydennison.com]

Robert,

Although I did no conversion, I do have an electric Raritan macerating 
head on our 387. There is good and not so good to electric. First, it uses 
amps. Second, it uses more water than manual. Third. if the unit fails, or 
your batteries fail it's a lot more of a chore to correct.

On the plus side, just push the button and flush.

Re: [C320-list] electric toilet conversion






Hello All,

The non-return valve in the heads
aboard  "Sugar'n'Spice"  failed on
Saturday morning, giving a whole
new meaning to the phrase
"getting your own back",  flooding
the heads and possibly taking the gloss
off of what promised to be an idyllic
long week-end's sailing.
The deck-hand is demanding that an
electric conversion be fitted to the toilet.
I have told her that she is being a bit
of a girl and that boats with onboard
bidets are quite rare and possibly
very valuable.
To no avail.
To avoid frequent GBH to my ears, I
need an excuse [sorry - sound technical
reason] to merely replace the non-return
  valve and forget about the electric
conversion.

Has anyone fitted an electric conversion?
If so, what make?  TCM or Jabsco?
What were the complications and don't
go theres?

regards,

Robert
