[C320-list] Intermittent list emails - and a NEW TOPIC TOILET RELATED!

[David Wellerstein]

And now that I have everyone’s attention…. :)

I am planning to replace the toilet on my C320.  The current toilet has a leak in the pump and for an extra $100 I thought I would just replace the whole thing rather than just the pump assembly.  Also, I can now get a standard size bowl vs. a compact sized toilet currently installed.

There seems to be a hose running from the flushing pump outlet tail to the toilet that goes through the back of the head rather than straight across like the one supplied with the new toilet.  Can I just use the new line or should I connect the existing lines that run behind the head wall?  Is there a reason for that configuration that I’m missing?  This is a standard Jabsco marine toilet.

Are there any other gotchas to doing this seemingly simple swap (I know, famous last words…the easiest of jobs always turn into complications of the unexpected variety when it comes to boat maintenance).

Thanks!

To be fair, eleven years ago cellphone coverage and smartphones weren't what they are today, so the argument was that an email-style list was very low on data usage and bandwidth requirements and could be relied upon when trying to get an answer to a problem whilst upside down in the aft lazarette locker, using a Nokia 3220 phone whilst ten miles offshore.
