Robbin: Go to REI's retail website and look up: Cleanwaste PETT Portable Environmental Toilet I have one of these PETTs, which packs easy, is quick and simple to use and seals out the nasty smells. The resulting sealed bags are environmentally friendly and easy to dispose of. In my opinion, this is a much better alternative than either a marine head or portable toilet.

Hello listers, I just returned from a Boy Scout high adventure sailing around the FLA Keys on a Morgan 40. Not a very arduous trek! The head on the boat was a head where a foot lever opened a drop door directly into a holding tank under the toilet. The smell from this head permeated the whole boat which was hard to take. My boat needs a new head or porta potti and as I primarily day sail I was considering a porta potti for ease of installation and not having to pump out the holding tank. I also need to replace and rebuild all the plumbing for the head as well as the vent on the deck etc. Any advice on this trade? I have not had a porta potti nor a pump head on board so I do not know the pluses and minuses. I would not install the type of head we had on the Morgan.
Thanks in advance!
