One of the other toilets that has a option for either electric or
manual,
is trouble free and recommended by many live aboards is the LAVAC
POPULAR.
They are represented in the US by St. Brenden's Isle, 411 Walnut St,
Green Cove Springs, FL.
We bought and installed one on a prior boat and cannot say enough
good about it.
It is a suction pump with a sealing toilet lid, so minimum odors, and
can be set up
with both electric and/or suction pump easily. Many are installed
with only the
manual Whale type pump on them, but they are set up to use either
that or
electric. Its almost impossible to plug them up, which is why they
are so popular.

We are doing sea trials this coming Monday. One of the first things
we want to do is make the boat livable if all goes well. We have do
have a livaboard slip. Our first purchase is a new toilet. We (my
wife and I) have weighed all the options we can think of and have
decided on an electric toilet. The particular toilet we are looking
at is a Thetford/Wilcox - Tecma Silence Plus Fresh Water Toilet.

There are other makes and I am wondering if I have missed one that
may be better.
Has anyone had experience with a better electric toilet or with this
one good or bad?
I do not want to re-visit the electric verses the manual issue as we
have decided on the electric for various reasons.
I did (I think) see one at a boat show one time that had a hand pump
as an option incase the electric went south for some reason. I have
never found it again. Any ideas on that one?
As a side note I had haemoid surgery not long ago and it is not to be
taken lightly. The doc’s best advice was to take the magazines out of
the means room. Not good to spend any more time than needed on the
throne for your butt.
