It will help me and perhaps others deep into Head/Waste handling on their 80's Ericson's and Olson's to have some previous information pulled together. The referenced threads date from before I started using this site's blog capabilities. The EY.org Blog section is, to me, a very useful part of...
Replacing our head hoses on Quincy has been overdue for a while, and after our July cruise to Barkley and Clayoquot Sounds we had a few down days in Seattle. I decided enough was enough and it was time to tackle a project I’d been putting off for too long. Luckily Chris was there too, so she...
Boats with access to deep water are plumbed for overboard discharge outside the three-mile limit. They discharge only from the holding tank, unlike older systems which permitted direct flow from the toilet. Since pump-out stations are not always handy, overboard discharge is pretty much required...

I finally got up enough gumption to rip out the old Kracor recirculating tank and hoses. A roll of duck tape, a box of heavy duty latex gloves, a can of bleach wipes, and stack my daughter's size 3 diapers came in handy to make this a stinky but tolerable job (the hoses were rank!). While I...
