Thetford Marine’s Tips for Head Maintenance

Aqua Soft Tissue

 

A common misconception is that all toilet papers are alike. In a marine sanitation system, household products tend to clump and obstruct. Boaters find the solution to clogged heads in Thetford’s 100% rapid-breakdown tissue. It begins to dissolve almost as soon as it’s flushed. 

Aqua-Soft® Toilet Tissue is made specifically for marine sanitation systems. It features two luxurious plies of soft, highly absorbent paper. Quick to dissolve, it’s the perfect choice when duplicating the gentle qualities of a home tissue and comes 396 sheets per roll.

The company’s RV/Marine Toilet Tissue is single ply. It’s ideal for fully manual heads due to its fast breakdown. Soft, yet strong, it’s an economical alternative and comes 350 sheets per roll.

Another benefit to using a top-quality tissue comes when it’s time to pump out the holding tank. No clumps ensure a fast and thorough job. Adding Thetford’s Aqua-Kem® Marine rapidly liquefies waste. The tank deodorant is available in liquid form, as well as ultra-convenient Toss-Ins™ single dose packets.

New Boats: Beneteau Oceanis 34.1 – A Sleek, Good -Looking Delight To Sail

By Katherine Stone

There is nothing more that I enjoy than being with friends and messing about in boats. Messing about in brand-new boats on a champagne sailing day on Lake Ontario at the beginning of the summer doesn’t get any better. To have the new owner, Helmuth Strobel and Anchor Yachts dealer Pancho Jimenez aboard made it even more special, as they can also speak to what they truly enjoy about the boat. We keep our own boat in a harbour that has a long waiting list for boats over 35 feet, so this little gem would definitely fit the bill and feels like a much bigger boat. True to the spirit of the 7th generation Oceanis line, the 34.1 is built in Poland and replaces the 35.1. It is 1,000 lbs lighter, 14 cm narrower and has 29% more sail area.
