Looking at replacing the Jabsco head on our C310 with a Raritan PHC, or maybe the PHCLBA (I can get the PHC for about $25 more than the PHCLBA-so that's very tempting). In either case it looks like I'll need to redo some or all of the mounting bolts. Do you know if they are actually thru bolted, or just lag screws?

This will also be the time to replace the waste hose with Trident 101.

You will have to drill some new holes and fill a couple. I recommend that you fill ALL of 'em and redrill the ones you can use 'cuz even though bolts may be the same size, they can have slightly different diameters and even a micromillimeter can leave you with a wobbly toilet. All toilet mounting bolts are lag bolts...no nuts to remove, just back 'em out.
Good choice of toilet and hose! But you need to be aware that 101 is stiff as an ironing board and also has a larger outer diameter than single wall flex PVC hose...which, if you have hard bends in the run, will require using inline radius fittings and may require enlarging holes in bulkheads. If either is gonna be problem we can discuss other hose choices.
