[Public-list] Marine Heads

[Meinhold, Michael J]

Well we used the head for the last time this season, and I see I was wrong
about the model - it is a Wilcox-Crittenden Head Mate, and the maintenance
kit is $65! So I will look for a sale and probably get a Jabsco.

Here's two more head questions. 

1) Is there any good reason I can't make the head platform drain to the
bilge? Right now any spilled (or overflowed) water goes to the cabin sole.

2) The top of the bowl seems to be level with the original waterline. I'd
feel much more comfortable if it were at least a few inches above it! Has
anyone built a plaform for the head to accomplish this?

Thanks,

Mike

It's made by Jabsco, but I don't have the model number with me.
I think I could probably match the parts with newer Jabsco models. However,
I can't find any table or catalog that refers to my model.

What make is your head.  On MAHSEER #380 we still have the
original Wilcox Crittendon "Junior" installed and from there
web sit all parts are still available including the china
bowl.
