Are you sure there's enough space in your head for that toilet? The "standard" bowl is 19.25" front-back...the "elongated" bowl is 21.5"!
I am using my deck wash pump to deliver raw water to the toilet through solenoid valve.
That won't work
The solenoid ONLY controls pressurized flush water from the onboard water supply. It can be compared to a faucet...opens to allow water to flow to the toilet, closes to "turn off" the flow of flush water. It can't turn a pump on and off.
The remote pump (your deck wash pump) ONLY brings in raw water. It's a completely separate flush water intake system from the pressurized fresh water flush. It doesn't use a solenoid, but it does need the vented loop in the line between the deck wash pump and the bowl.
Do you think I need to connect output from solenoid valve through existing vented loop or run it straight to the toilet?
You'd only use the solenoid at all if you're also planning to have fresh water flush. That line would go straight to the toilet.
If you're NOT planning to have fresh water flush, IMO you're buying the wrong toilet...paying for features you can't use ("smart flush" panel, for one thing) just to get a bowl style .

I think you need to spend some time with it. I'm open to a Skype call if you think we need to talk.

Hi Peggie,
Finally found time to reply. Just FYI I am using reconditioned Raritan toilet which was decommissioned due to electronics malfunctions. Was given away in excellent condition. I have redesigned initial system to make it simple and efficient. I am using raw salt water from deck wash pump which is ON all time keeping about 2Bar pressure in "salt water" system. It connected to anchor wash outlet and transom wash outlet with mechanical ON/OFF valves and to toilet intake through solenoid valve controlled by simple push button. And I am not using vented loop. Waste motor pump controlled by another push button through external relay.
Works absolutely great and quiet. My wife and guests just love it! I probably will add later small programmable relay with timers to make it fully automatic (single flush , double flush, etc.)... May be - still like to keep it simple!
Regarding size - it fits good. I have attached few photos for refernce. I can't close the wooden cover, but we never actually closed it anyway when taking shower. I might lift up all wooden shelf it in future - I need about 40mm.
Thank you Sergey
