All summer long the first few toilet flushes after being away from the boat all week long really stunk up the boat with the smell of stagnate, dead critter infested water coming from the raw water intake hose. We decided to make the change to a fresh water unit, and after reading numerous blogs and reviews we went with the Raritan Elegance model, with the SmartFlush control panel. This is not the cheapest electric toilet option, but with Defender’s Boat Show discounted price we purchased this highly rated model.
The DIY Instillation took me most of a day due to the tight working space and the need to attend to the old Jabsco’s mounting and discharge line holes. Once plumbed and wired the first push on the panel resulted in a rapid flush with a self-contained macerator pump discharge being reasonable quiet.
The installation directions are straight forward, and with a little care in marking for the mounting holes, wires and hoses this project is a relative snap. I give this project a 6 for difficulty and a 10 for satisfaction once completed.
