Replacing the old toilet seat.

I just bought a 1989 Hunter 28. I am unsure of the brand of toilet, however, the underside of the seat lid says "Huffy I9". I really want to replace the seat but cannot find the maker. I'd settle for an off brand, but it doesn't appear to be a size that Home Depot or Sears would carry. Thank you, Matt Wolf s/v Wu-Wei

Never heard of Huffy toilet seats...

I checked with some toilet mfrs, and neither have they. Best guess is, it's already been replaced at least once with an aftermarket seat. The good news is, most marine toilet seats are interchangeable brand to brand, so you should be able order a new one from any toilet mfr. Household seats will fit the larger "highboy" marine toilet bowls...if they won't fit yours, it means your toilet has the smaller "standard" size. However, repair parts for marine toilets are NOT interchangeable brand to brand, or even model to model from the same mfr...so you do need to know the make/model of your toilet...and I'd find out before replacing seat. 'Cuz depending on what make/model it is, and whether it's still the original toilet, it may not be worth spending the money for a new seat plus the rebuild it it's likely to need...it could even be obsolete. So you may be better off just replacing the whole toilet.

Typo

Peggy, The name under the seat is Tuffy, not Huffy. I made a mistake. Does that name ring any bells? PS, the hose that is used to carry gray water from the toilet to the holding tank broke this weekend. What a mess/skink! Take care, Matt

"Tuffy" is a model name for a toilet seat manufactured by the Beneke Corp., taken over by Sanderson Plumbing products in the '80's. I don't know if they're still in business.

Thanks Vic!

I called Sani-Med (part of Sanderson Plumbing) and they were very helpful. PS- If anyone needs to call them, ask for Candy in customer service, she is great!
