Hi all ... I just took possession of a boat that has a Jabsco Lite Flush electric toilet with a foot switch. I'm not a big fan of the foot switch and don't want to spend a fortune on the remote control panel. Has anyone come up with an alternative using one or two rocker switches that could be placed on the wall ?

I'm not sure what specs you need but I've used this for starting an outboard and it was exposed to the elements. Humidity levels in an enclose head might be a bit higher than the rest of the boat

Jabsco offers a 3 option wall switch for electric toilets that works with any of them...a choice of bring in water ahead of flush, dry flush and the same flush you get with a single button...works with both sea and fresh water toilets...inexpensive, no circuit board. Or you can buy a single wall mounted push button.

Thanks for your replies ... I was thinking of something less expensive than the Jabsco options which start at over $100. I would think that this switch might be a good alternative: Amazon.com
The foot pedal has a brown and a black wire. The wall switch has brown, red and yellow. Any thoughts on the proper way to connect?
I recommend you set it up with with individual control of flush and fill. Combined flush and fill puts too much water into the holding tank, which requires more frequent pump-outs.
