Head recommendations

[MattA]

I have a '79 Neptune 24 made by Capital Yachts. My old manual head, wih no holding tank, just died due to a crack in the built-in holding tank. I am looking for recommendations for a new head. I have been looking at an MSD-type head ,as I plan to add pump out and holding tank capacities to it at a later date, but I need the built in holding tank on the bottom for now. I cruise for up to three weeks at a time in the Sea of Cortez with a family of four. With all of this in mind what would you recommend as the best head I could buy (size of tank, reliability/longevity, quality of construction, flushing ability, etc)? Thank you for any and all help.

Here is a fine looking one that is available on this site.. can be used with overboard flush, deck pump out.. has its own 5 gallon holding tank..

Hate to recommend a competitor, but here's something you may wish to consider:

http://www.dometic.com/enus/America...ischarge-Toilet/products/?productdataid=96282

It's a ceramic toilet sitting on top of a 9 gallon holding tank, and has a gravity drop-down into the tank. It is connected to your onboard pressure water system as a source for rinse water to the toilet bowl.

Dometic/SeaLand 711-M28 is a great system, but

may be overkill on a 24' boat, even if the head is large enough for the 20 x 20 tank footprint. I'd either go with Kloudie's recommendation or the Thetford 365 MSD, also available from this site. Porta Potti 365 MSD

And here's the mfr's link to it, where you can read ALL about it, even the manual:

Re: Dometic/SeaLand 711-M28 is a great system, but

Thanks for the recommendations. I'll be purchasing one within the next week.
