Hi Peggie, There is a bracket under the v-berth on our new(old) Ericson 23, close to the Lectrasan. It looks like it might be a battery bracket. Would it make sense to have a battery there to satisfy the current draw of the Lectrasan if the house batteries are some 15 feet away ? If it isn't a battery bracket I'm stumped what it is for. At this point I don't know if the head is functional and I'm wondering how you suggest I fire it up to see if it is ? Open the sea cocks (if they are closed), pump, turn on the timer ... ? Or should I first do some other preparation ? I think the bottom of the bowl is at or under the DWL but none of the plumbing has any antisiphon air gaps as far as I can tell. Do you need air gaps if most of the bowl is above water ? As you can probably tell from the picture the treatment tank is above the bowl. The manual (downloaded from Raritan) states that the tank has to be below the bowl or you need to call them. Why would it need to be below or what should I look for to find out if it is acceptably installed despite being above the bowl ? Are they just worried about backflow ? So many questions ... even after reading your excellent book :) -Sven
