Sea Era replacement

[Pete Peterson]

I need to replace the pump on my Jabsco 29090-2000 in my C320 because of base cracking. :{ I am considering instead installing the Raritan Sea Era electric head, with pressurized water feed. Do you know if I will have to install a new outlet hose to the holding tank, or will the existing hose reach and fit? Also, does the Sea Era come with an adequate one-way check valve for the water inlet, or should I install one myself? Finally, are the base bolt holes similar between the two units, or will I have to drill new holes? Many thanks for any assistance.

Excellent choice!

If your bowl and seat are still in good condition, you can save a little $$ by going with the conversion--which is everything BUT the bowl and seat. If your Jabsco has only a 1" discharge (which is Jabsco's "standard" size, but they also offer a 1.5"), you'll need a new 1.5" head discharge hose. However, I'd replace the hoses whether they fit or not...replacing a toilet without replacing hoses is kinda like putting on new clothes without taking a bath first. The pressurized water version SeaEra already has all the vacuum breakers, siphon breaks etc installed...you do not need to add any. The mounting bolt pattern will not match your existing toilet. You'll have to drill new ones. But that would most likely be true even if you were replacing an old Jabsco manual with a new one...so it's no big deal.Read and follow ALL the installation instructions carefully! Wiring an electric toilet correctly is critical.
