E23 head

[austinmotion]

My E23 has the head curtain but alas no head. Based on the limited dimensions available behind the curtain is there a head that you would suggest? I was looking at the thetford 135 marine as an inexpensive solution. Thanks!

Missing Pooper!

The "head" probably found it's way to a new home.
I've got a SeaLand-SaniPottie(West Marine). Any Portable Toilet will fit(measure first).
Be sure to get the "hold-down" kit.:eek:
Properly maintained(chemicals) I've never had an odor issue(all summer)

Ah, good point! That's one item I wouldn't want sloshing around the cabin...thanks!

In addition to the hold-down I installed a plywood bulkhead behind it w/ anchors for the handles(good catch-all) Air-borne porta-potti's are not acceptable!

Buttered hips

You might think about putting a strategically well placed sturdy grab handle somewhere to assisit getting up and down from the seated position. Sometimes, in our 25, getting up and down is an issue because there isn't any room to move your legs into a position to brace yourself. Then it gets to be even more challenging on a port tack.

The entire water closet affair on my boat is narrow enough that I have thought seriously about leaving a stick of butter near the pot for greasing wide hips and hang a Twinkie across from the head for proper motivation to extract oneself! A really violent jibe works, too....

My wife thought the grab handle was a much better idea than my collection of ideas.

Port Tack!

Steve, Shootin' from the hip, while seated! Great Idea:thinker:
The front face of the E23 mast box(single teak handrail) would be perfect! I'm not gettin' any younger, port tack works best on the 23, less vertical movement, just kind of ease into it! I could also use it to pull myself out of the V-berth in the morning! Thanks! Never "too many" handholds on a boat!

Twinkie? What happened to the universal enticement(BEER)?

Head Curtain? Anybody got a layout for that? Sounds better than the beach towel I use.

Towels

Will soak up cheap beer better. I'd stay with something pretty stout, like heavier material. Expect a privacy curtain to get a bit of abuse.

Curtain

It's there "lurking" behind the radio in my "E23 Mastbox" post further down in M&M.
It uses the same hdwr. as discussed in "Don't shoot me" D&F

Curtain

I can make a full size pattern from my old one - Shirley stitched me up a new one last year to match the fresh upholstery fabric. Hang on - I'll mail it to you.

As always, thank you.

Want a better pic? I'm having "too much fun" w/ my new digital!

I know you are talking about Mk2's but here is what I did (Porta Potti & curtain) with my Mk1. Sorry about the low quality photos.
