It's a system from the late '70s...the toilet is most likely a Danforth ( yes, the same company that makes anchors made toilets for a few years) with a Raritan wrap-around 5 gallon holding tank. If there's a flushwater inlet thru-hull, it's not recirculating...some of these early systems were.
No parts have been available for that toilet for at least 35 years...the parts in the pump have been worn out for at least that long...if the boat has spent any time sitting, all the rubber parts in the boat have long since become hard, dry, brittle and prone to crumbling. So it's not salvageable....the only part of it that you
might be able to use today are the bowl, seat and lid...they seem to be in pretty good shape, actually. The hoses don't. So you're gonna need a new toilet, hoses and a larger tank.
Do you want to stay with a manual toilet or upgrade to electric? The boat doesn't appear to be one that has a very spacious head, so we need to measure carefully.
Finding space for a decent size tank may be a bit of a challenge too...but fortunately Ronco plastic makes top quality tanks for a reasonable price and has 400+ shapes and sizes, over 100 of which are non-retangular.

If you'd like to brainstorm your options one-on-one, send me a PM and I'll be glad to help you figure out the best choices for that boat, your intended use of it, how many people will typically be aboard and your budget for this.
