I am so excited about an upgrade to my 48 year old beloved KANDARIK. Her Christmas present this year was a new electric marine toilet! Now that may seem a bit funny to you, but after 48 years of great service from a very well used Groco K hand pump toilet, it seemed the right time to replace it with a modern push-button variety!
With four crew living aboard for years, so many miles under the keel, and thousands and thousands of pumps to keep our ole Groco working properly, and now all I have to do is press a button, and voila! Toilet flushed!!

A friend of mine, David, told me about installing a new electric marine toilet on his Valiant 40. When I went to visit him, and used his brand new head, and all I had to do was push a button to flush it, well, I got the giggles. I said to myself, ‘someday I have got to get one of these and never have to pump 35 times again to clear the toilet and the hoses!’
So for Christmas, KANDARIK got her very own, brand new Raritan Marine Elegance toilet, and what a joy now. I only wish I had done this a long time ago! What a great new addition for my boat. If you are like me, and want to have the ease and fun of using the head on your boat, think of me, having fun pushing a button instead of those laborious hand pumps…..
I am an old fashioned sailor, but my new boat toilet is bringing me into another world of ‘what is better’ and it makes me and KANDARIK so happy!
Go for it!!!
