Many boatowners are looking at ways to improve
comfort and luxury levels within their boats and as
getaway plans begin to form, it’s time to make some
changes using this simple 6 step by step guide.
With over 10 million Jabsco manual toilets in use
worldwide, the bathroom is a focus for upgrades as
boatowners look to make their marine interior closer

boat owners to achieve increased comfort through a
simple retro-fitting procedure which will enable them
to benefit from its electric operation, low water
consumption properties, non clogging system and
large bore flush pump.

boatowners, those involving water systems can be
slightly more intimidating but instead of hiring some
help, boat owners can take simple steps to upgrade
their toilet system – as demonstrated here through

Lite Flush toilet from Xylem.

bolts at the base of the toilet that are holding it in
position. These should be unscrewed and the toilet
can be released.
