We have a 1982 Hunter 37' cutter and the toilet leaks water out when you pump it, were do I find The replacement parts? We are new and only have had this boat for 3 days. Thanks, Bob

I agree...
If the toilet is still original, it's most likely a Mansfield 751 or 752, which was discontinued more than 20 years ago...no parts have been available for more than 10 years. If it's been replaced with a Jabsco, it's not worth repairing...a brand new one would cost about the same as the cost to repair. So either way, you need a new toilet...the only question is whether to replace it with another cheap (about $150) "disposable" toilet that's likely to need replacement again in a couple of years, or spend a bit more (about $250) for a toilet that'll last at least 20 years if you just keep it lubricated and put a "rebuild kit" (all the rubber parts) in it every 5-6 years. That would be the Raritan PH II, which has been rated the best manual toilet under $500 for several decades. The Cricket was discontinued a couple of years ago. You might want to check out the link below to learn how to operate and maintain your toilet and tank correctly. Btw, how did your surveyor happen to miss the leaky toilet? It's something that the seller should have had to replace.

Or, a bucket
I wouldn't do it, and the admiral would have me keelhauled if I did, but you could get by for a while with a solid bucket(one that will not crush with human weight). In fact, we keep one on board as a general tool, and a backup head. But eventually you will want a real head, as described by Peggie and Steve. Happy flushing, Sanders

Sanders, unless you're at least 3 miles offshore..
And that means 3 miles offshore OUTSIDE SF Bay, your admiral isn't the only one who'd object to replacing the toilet with a bucket...the CG wouldn't like it either. 'Cuz inside the "3 mile limit" it's just as illegal to use a bucket and just dump it over the side as it would be illegal to flush a toilet directly overboard or dump a tank in the Bay. Which doesn't make a bucket a very practical solution for most coastal and bay sailors.
