Raritan Lectra/san installation in a 37C

[Frank Bean]

Is there anyone out there that has installed a Raritan Lectra/san in their 1981 Hunter 37C Cherubini designed vessel? I have been reading the threads about holding tanks failures, (mine hasn't but I fear it is inevitable,) taking them out, hanging flexible tanks, plastic tanks, cutting v-berts, etc. The Head Mistress said why not consider using the Lectra/san. The new holding tank cost of $250+ dollars would help offset the total cost. (I found one (Lectra/san) on line for under $800.) My only concern is that the top of the unit, (Lectra/san) has to be below the discharge line of the head itself. I am not at my boat at the moment. I am off the coast of Texas drilling gas and oil wells so I can't see it.If anyone out there has done this replacment/installation I sure would like to hear from them. Things like problems encountered, what they might do diffferent, where did they put the Lectra/san etc. Is it working as you expected? ThanksFrank BeanSV Blue BirdMobile, Alabama

Hey Frank, you might get a better response by listing this queation on the Cherubini list under the hunter section. you also might check the archives and see what is in there. i also have been considering the same thing but there are limitations... if you plan on going to ANY place that has a NO DISCHARGE RULE then you are literely sh*t out of lick because NO really means NO...even though it is treated ya can't do it. the Keys of florida and the dry tortugas are 2 of the places you might be thinking of and they are NO NO NO discharge places just a thought chet p Harriet's Chariot H37C
