Want opinions on best suppliers (head parts)

[PierreR]

I have two heads that could use a rebuild.
I have a Raritan Crown Head Mod XCL and a Groco EB head.

The Raritan head currently works and the Groco head does not.
My question is where is the best place to order parts

Thanks in advance

I have ordered parts from Defender with good success.

I've always had good results from Marinesan.com.

Hodges and Defender are regulars.

Boatersland Marine.com is pretty good. Sometimes Great Lakes Skipper. And I also like Defender like the others.

Fisheries Supply (Seattle) is world class. Your location in Wadsworth, OH? or IL? or NV? a bit far away but for hard to find parts it may be worth their shipping cost. (Defender also great and they also charge for shipping).

I have ordered direct from Groco. Not head parts, though... and I think there are retailers who offer better prices if they have stock.

I hate waste. But worse than that I hate dealing with used food.

So... I try to keep my heads running free by using lots of clear water. When they fail I replace the entire unit. The mounting screws and hoses usually match right up. A new toilet is clean and fairly inexpensive.

I hose down the old one, put a sign on it, "Free, probably needs a choker valve rebuild" and put it near the dumpster. They usually disappear within a few hours.
