I'm back! The toilet on our new to us Pearson 28 (1986) is a Groco HF (upgraded I belive from an HC). While it doesn't look bad and seems to work ok, I wouldn't mind replacing it with a new model if it works out to be as easy as removing a few bolts and hoses and reconnecting.
If I recall correctly, there are 4 x screws/bolts connecting the toilet to the deck. They are on the "pipe" that runs from the pump mechanism to the base of the bowl. Looks to be an easy unscrew, remove, and replace. However, knowing that when something looks easy it is generally the prelude to an ambush, I'd like to know if in fact it is that easy.
I did not notice a way to get underneath the deck to attach a nut - is this generally done when the boat is built and the "nut" is permanent, or is removing and replacing these 4 x bolts/nuts something much more involved than it initially appears?
As always, I appreciate any comments, suggestions, and advice those who have gone before might offer.
