Jerry...<b>Frog0911</b>

Thanks for taking the time to take some photos of your head installation,a while back,these photos were very helpful in how I was going to install my head.

Replace existing portapoti with electric head.


Large white hose head waste discharge line...striped hose water supply to head...12 volt romex...black object lost TV inverter




12 volt junction strip with fuse


Waste discharge hose and 12 volt romex thru existing bilge punp hose hole in bulk head.




Flex waste tank...left hose pumpout...middle hose vent...right hose head discharge. Relocated batteries to front of boat.



Typical tie down bracket 3/4" ext ply with 5200, secrete securing system.

Flex water tank for head,located in v-berth,using flex hose to run out forward hatch to fill tank.

I used double ss clamps on all joints, pressure tested and they all leaked.
Then I coated head and flex tank fittings with silicone seal and re-installed hose and replaced all joints with double ss clamps.
Tested no leaks.

Thanks again for photos

Paul, was excited about seeing pictures of electric head, but just got red x's for pictures. You may need to reload them or my machine is to old to bring them up for viewing.

Yahoo does not work here.Try http://www.photobucket.com. It's free and provide the code within the IMG tags that you need.
