Tackled the problem differently on Septima. I installed a fresh water bladder tank to feed the head. No smells from decaying whatever ( reason the Admiral wanted fresh water feed), no chance for overflow on port tacks, no sea water in the boat (that thru hull is closed all the time. Use tank to provide lateral trim.
