I have found that the larger Gadoraid bottles have a mouth wide enough for the male use even with rolling seas, so that is what goes into the cooler rather than plain bottled water. And you know what the late W.C Fields had to say about why not to drink water.

new head

Post by Brian26x »

I just installed a new marine head, 15 gal holding tank, and through hull fitting to supply the flush water. Works great,

I've heard that and can believe it. I almost went overboard trying it on Lake Erie on a good day. I'd rather just pi$$ on a self-bailing cockpit sole and rinse it with a bucket of seawater than do that again, but "the jug" makes that unnecessary.
Here's another X boat advantage for your list...a backstay to hold on to while you are whizzing off of the stern! Peeing off of the bow if you are achored in a breeze could be a foolish idea.

I'm very bad about regularly emptying my pottie...I figure if it stinks worse, people will be less likely to keep filling it up! 8)

Is it possible that they where doing something other than pi$$?

So far, our "container" hasnt been used. Im wondering if this 1999 Mac X original equipment will function correctly, since its only been rinsed a couple of times (but never used or whizzed in). I hope it functions :o , if or when its needed by guests, or whomever.
So far, all our overnighters have been in Public Parks, or within our Marina. The dog has to be "shore walked" anyway :wink:
