Hopefully a last word:
The great discrepancy between the differing positions and practices of the posts can be accounted for in part by the fact that some have electric heads, which usually have a built-in macerator. That makes a huge difference in whether TP will clog a line or not because the particles are much smaller, more dispersed, and the electric head normally uses more water than a manual one (which does not matter if you have sea water flush but does fill up the holding tank quicker).
I have owned many boats over the past 60 years, and have never had a clog problem in my 356 with electric head since I bought her new in 2003. We use ALL the regular TP we wish. No buckets, no baskets, no limits, no expensive or special TP--just the same stuff we use at home. But I did have some clogging problems whenever I chartered or owned a boat with manual pump at the head. So my conclusion is that everybody is right in their posts. Just some have it much easier because they have an electric head with macerator.
