Crappy question

1998 Aquasport 215 Explorer -Potipotti ?

Looking at the Dometic 965, 5 gallon holding tank (lotsa females on my boat) At 15 1/2 " height it should just fit on the slide mount bracket under the bridge deck in the cabin - evidently this boat came with a 2.5 gallon Dometic 962 as the slide mount still has the smaller hold down brackets supplied with the 962.

Anybody using the 965 or any other Dometic toilet?   Comments welcomed........

When i replaced mine last year i wanted to go with the 5 gallon but it was to tall so i had to go with the 2.5 again.

Dometics are top-notch, but usually are pricey.  Thetford and Sealand make good units as well.  Most all of them have a common footprint, because the RV makers want to be able to use the one they want.

Thetford offers one model that flushes automatically - uses batteries or will hook up to your DC system.  They also have a cool recirc model similar to what aircraft use, but you will pay $800 or so for that one.    

Keep an eye on eBay - these things often go cheap on eBay - do a search for "Marine Toilet" or "RV Toilet" and see what you find.

Good luck!

Got the Dometic 965 from AnchorExpress for $110 shipped - its a perfect fit for the 215 Explorer, seems very well made and sits as high as a house toilet on the slide, very comfy and stable.

Gotta love it when everything comes out right.....

I have the Dometic VacuFlush head with the 11 gallon hold tank great system hardly uses any water to flush. Mine is 11 years old and still going.

DT,
Unfortunately, although a VacuFlush is a great system, there is simply no room to install one on a 215 Explorer.  BTW, in the future, should your vacuum pump start to cycle when it shouldn't be cycling, it's usually one of 2 things.  The seal around the ball in the bottom of the toilet, or the hose seals where they enter the vacuum tank...

Would this same toilet work for the 24.5 Osprey?
Just have a bucket, Wife and 3 daughters dont like so much

Yep.  Used to be an option.  The hold down brackets simply screw down to the floor inside the console.  We even had a canvas "tent" that fit over the seat bottom to "ensure privacy"...
