I am 99% set on installing a composting toilet in my Newport 27. The original flush unit was removed, and a very cheap portable unit installed by a previous owner. Upon my purchase of the boat, the portable unit was literally falling apart, so it is also gone.
The plumbing for the flush toilet and holding tank still exists. However, what to do with it? So far, I am not sure about the condition of the sink/shower plumbing or where it goes (bilge or holding tank), so that may be one use - convert to grey water.
A second thought is to remove the old black water holding tank and replace with a fresh water tank to increase capacity on board. I would be nice to have increased capacity for dish and shower/body washing functions, for extended trips away from a dock.
Any thoughts on this would be quite helpful. Thanks for your time.
