I haven’t done that so no advice there.  However, a couple of points to consider:

1.  Beware of cross-connecting fresh water lines and tanks with toilet flushing as that could be detrimental to your health. 
 
2.  Consider how this change in plumbing might affect the resale value of the boat when you elect to sell it.  

3.  On our boat, we use the head sink shower nozzle for fresh water flushing.
