Th e Raritan Marine Elegance Raritan Marine_Elegance Promo.pdf is Practical Sailor's top-rated macerating electric toilet...the Raritan SeaEra Raritan SeaEra Promo Sheet available as either a complete toilet or the "conversion" kit (everything but the bowl, seat and lid) is a close 2nd.

who control all boat in USA with 10-20 gallon wastewater in a couple day or week. what you have coast guard every 200 ft of US territorial water.

Don't get me started on US sewer systems... Yes, that's legal because so many major cities have outgrown their sewage systems and/or allowed them to fall into such disrepair that they can't afford to update or even maintain them that the EPA has issued waivers allowing them to operate and overflow without penalty. But let one li'l boat owner get caught flushing the toilet on his boat directly overboard and that state's law enforcement--which may or may not include the USCG--comes down on him with a huge fine.

The irony in all this is, those same sewage systems are where most of the waste pumped out of holding tanks goes...to be discharged untreated into the waters they claim that NDzs protect the next time it rains.

Y'all can continue to beat this to death if you want to...I've said my piece and am bowing out.

I have just started reading through this and was actually going to suggest the same thing as it virtually cuts out (or certainly reduces a lot) the paper used. I also prefer stainless pans as they are a lot lighter and won't chip or crack if under stress.

Yes, Peggie, there are several reasons to avoid charter boats - their toilets are one reason

The overflow is surprising - especially as its a European boat, but I see other European brands (such as that charter boat) with overflows too.

Ours I just consider a big vent.
