Robbin,
There was a thread on this delicate subject back I think in December, and
based on what I learned then, and following Doug Kelch's lead, I have bought
(for
the same cruise) a Pett dry toilet system, which seems to have a lot of
advantages over the standard porta-potti. If you are thinking of replacing
your
built-in, you may want to consider it. Lots of information online on the
system, which uses zipper bags pre-filled with chemicals which process the
material into a semi-solid form which can legally be dumped into any trash bin.
No
flushing, no tank to dump, and no necessity to scout for dumping facilities.
I found also that when the legs are removed it fits solidly into the
starboard v-berth storage hatch opening. It's not flush with the surround,
but can
easily be closed and stored when not in use. Full disclosure - I haven't used
it yet, but plan to test it out (informally, of course) sometime before the
cruise.

PS It's also cheaper than a porta-potti.
