It's pretty basic, but mine has worked reasonably well for the last two seasons (>3200nm). I've learned to baby the pump/valve unit when it occasionally sticks, and have on those occasions thought about replacing it with a Raritan PH-II toilet. However, it hasn't happened often enough to get me to actually spend the money and labor to do so. Like many Hunter equipment choices, it's (minimally) capable of doing the job. In this case not because it's the minimum applicable size of a first-rate manufacturer's product (like the Lewmar winches), but the product of a more down-market (but acceptable) manufacturer. It's yet another example of the means by which Hunter provides us boats with the size and features of much more expensive boats by cutting corners where it doesn't compromise the basic integrity of the boat. I'd appreciate a better toilet, as I'd appreciate "fine furniture" joinery in the cabin. However, I'd not want to trade Hunter's well thought-out single-handing-capable rig, arch-mounted traveller, massive cockpit drain, wiring channels, removable cabin roof access covering, easily inspectable (and BIG) chainplates, Selden spars, etc., etc., etc..... Larger size winches, number of spinlocks, etc, are easy to change. The 5/8" thick Kevlar reinforced hull doesn't need to be. As with any boat, equipping/fitting-out for the intended use is really up to the captain. (I've posted a summary description of my own personal set of modifications for my New England coastal cruising in the Knowledgebase. YMMV.) The basic boat is a bargain. All-in-all, Hunter's combination of design choices on Glen Henderson's 36 suit me very well. If you're a top-end toilet afficionado, however, you might be underwhelmed. Nevertheless, it does do the job.
