开云体育It should be to ensure the boat outside the 3 mile limit. A simple program could monitor the macerator use notify authorities if discharged in a no discharge area.??The Raritan Elegance is reported by many to be the most reliable and easy to use electric head.?

I installed a Raritan SeaEra electric toilet several years ago. ?It has both sea water and freshwater flushing options and a Smart Toilet Control. ?I use the fresh water at the dock to minimize odors and sea water when cruising. ?
The toilet has a built in macerator. ?I also installed a standard macerator/overboard discharge pump to pump the holding tank when in legal discharge areas. ?Waste is double macerated in this mode.
The fit is perfect on the 38-1, and the Installation is pretty straightforward. ?Factory tech support is excellent. ?Other than replacing the Joker Valve once, it has been
working fine for at least ten years.
No sign of Elon tracking the unit, as of yet.

开云体育Yes we used the Dometic basic model. I forget the model number but it was chosen because it fit not because it’s the best. It does work but you will want to add a shut off valve on the intake side.?Randy Drummond

Thanks Don,

This is specific to the 38-II as the foot print is limited and I am wondering if you can mount the macerator 90 degrees to the bowl.
I think you can from what I have read online but wanted to see if anybody has done it yet.

It could possibly be hooked to starlink only for "flush mode" :-)

I won't be able to flush overboard as the boat is now compliant for the great lakes - I removed the y valve and it will only flush to the holding tank.
?
There is also no anti-siphon valve on the intake hose which I find strange.? I will be installing one.

Hey Tim,
Yes, you can rotate the base on most marine macerating heads - one of the best things I’ve done for the family on our 38mkii. We are potty training a 2 year old and the kid tends to flush an entire roll of tp if not checked. The 5 year old isn’t much better… The old manual head just started leaking from all seals. Electric macerating toilets have a lot less moving parts, power draw is low and they smell better (especially if converted to fresh water). Plus it’s easy for visitors and doesn’t clog or leak half as often. We used a model from 5 Oceans, but again I believe most bases can rotate on installation to fit the platform. We installed an air-gap fill and 3 way valve so that we can switch between raw water or fresh without worry of contaminating fresh water. TMC Electric Marine Toilet, RV...

FYI, The SeaEra Toilet I installed allows for the macerator base to be rotated 90? in three directions. ?The Sea Water Models do have an anti-syphon valve (Series 188A, 288A, N388 and LF188A, LF288A, LFN388) as well as a shut off valve and a remote seawater
pump with separate filter/strainer. ?The Pressurized Fresh Water Model does not need the above items because it operates by way of the boat’s pressure water system.
I’m not?sure if it will fit in the 38 MkII, but the platform in the 38 MkI has a somewhat narrow depth where
the unit fit well with no modification other than moving screw holes approximately1/4–1/2”.
The overboard discharge capability is independent of the operation of the toilet unit in any of its various configurations. ?Waste is macerated at the toilet base prior to being pumped to the holding tank.

I should have also mentioned there are dual check valves isolating the fresh water from back flowing into the water tanks and the Smart Control key pad is very user friendly. ?Whatever brand you decide upon, the admiral and the crew will love the upgrade.

Just installed a Sea Era on a 362 with fresh and slat water flush. ?Can confirm the base will rotate 90 degrees
?
Beware though that if you rotate 90 counter clockwise, there is a small amount of pluming that protrudes off the base, into the footwell.?
The macerator is a little loud, but it’s tough?
