raz88 96 Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Removing a toilet in a 930 to replace as the old one as it looks old and gross and needs attention. Figured it would be easiest just to replace it. But it turns out the old one is super light as it has a plastic bowl and all the new ones we can find are porcelain and much heavier. Anyone know where to find a new marine loo with a plastic bowl? Or just a plastic bowl? I've heard talk of carbon ones but can imagine they're moonbeam expensive.

Psyche 632 Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Raz are you sure its plastic and not some kind of GRP? It would have to be a pretty hard material to avoid getting scratched which is pretty unhygenic, which is why I presume most bowls are porcelain. If its a Jabsco check with Lustys but in any case if you cant find a lightweight replacement its not going to lose you any races, one bad tack and all that! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waikiore 399 Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 The RM69 toilets did have a plastic option for a while, given up for good reason as above, the standard Jabsco is not that heavy and the best of the manual toilets just dont go for the large bowl.

Boatworks 23 Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 What make is it? I have a brand new TMC bowl (from Burnsco) that we no longer need - we only wanted the base and pump mechanism Quote Link to post Share on other sites

She has a cast iron skillet on board for making pancakes that weighs more than this toilet. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
