On Beemer I have a thru hull and seacock under the sink that feeds the head. Was fine in lakes but now with seawater it's less than my liking. Always had to have seacock closed as would overflow the head on a port tack. I plan to plumb from onboard water supply this spring. They have a kit if I plumb from Pressure water side of sink in head. Currently leave the head on dry and pour from cup on the sink. Works fine and no odors.
