I changed the OEM head to a Jabsco head on my 29-2 about 2 years ago.

My 29-2 is hull 693 / 1985 built in the US plant.

The old head was secured to the platform with stainless steel lag bolts
about 1.5 inches long.

To make the Jabsco unit fit / function properly, the following was
necessary.

-          Hand pump was reversed to the left side of the head

-          Even  with this change the base of the Jabsco hung over the edge
of the platform in the head. It needed to be shifted inboard so the seat
would flip up.

-          I fabricated a new, wider floor for the head out of ¾ inch
starboard. The new floor hangs over the inboard edge of the platform by
about 1.5 inches

-          New floor was fastened to the platform with stainless screws in
the corners

-          New Jabsco head was secured to the new starboard floor and
platform with stainless lag bolts about 2.5 inches long

The new head is very solid and has worked perfectly for the last 2 summers 

 

Fair Winds,
