HEADline News: Marine Toilet Offers Electric and Manual Flush

Sept 26, 2024

The Raritan PH PowerFlush is the only electric marine toilet available that will also flush manually. This means that the device remains operational no matter the power situation.

The ultra-comfortable PH PowerFlush is available in marine and household bowl sizes, with the pump on the right or left. The included soft-close lid has integrated stops that prevent the seat from sliding when in use while underway. With a base configuration that matches standard mounting bolt patterns, it’s the perfect toilet for OEM and refit applications.

The PH PowerFlush includes Raritan’s proprietary full-size 1.5″ joker valve that delivers superior flow, while virtually eliminating clogs and backflow problems. An innovative air valve allows users to turn off incoming water but continue to flush electrically or manually without building up pressure in the pump.

When used as an electric toilet, the PH PowerFlush’s powerful drive motor is quiet and highly efficient. The device is offered in 12V and 24V DC to match any vessel’s electrical system. The included rocker switch with stainless steel bezel complements any boat’s décor.

When manual operation of the PH PowerFlush is needed, it’s as easy as removing a bolt and inserting the telescoping lever handle. The massive PHII double-action piston pump is 66% larger than competitive models and built from heavy-duty polymer to prevent corrosion-related issues. The high-performance pump clears the bowl quickly and easily, with fewer strokes.

Made in the USA, the Household-size PH PowerFlush measures 20″ D x 18.25″ W x 13.125″ H. The Marine version is 17.25″ D x 17.75″ W x 13″ H.

Some are day cruisers; some are centre console fishing boats or designed for tow sports. A new live-aboard cabin boat has become a rare item these days.

So when I heard that Pride Marine in Orillia, Ontario, had a Nimbus 365 Coupe in the water, I jumped at the chance to get out on it.

Tahiti—Updates from Paradise

By Zuzana Prochaska

I’ve been to Tahiti seven times—six on charter and once as crew for a couple of yachties. Over the 25 years that I’ve been visiting, it’s changed dramatically. Yet, inexplicably, it has also stayed the same.

Lounging on the flybridge of our Sunsail 454, I had time to think about this dichotomy as I toasted the nighttime skies of Bora Bora and specifically the Southern Cross, a constellation that never fails to hypnotize. As the Crosby, Stills & Nash (1982) tune reminds us:

…you understand now why you came this way.
