Head options for Typhoon Weekender

Post by Tom Barringer »

I would like to hear what variations Typhoon owners have used in providing a head on board. I presently have access to a Jabsco compact manual head at a very good price, but am unsure as to whether it will fit properly and whether it is worth the hassle in the long run. Feedback appreciated.

I'm using a Porta-Pottie, which fits nicely in the space between the V-berth, and is held in place by a panel which slides down just aft.
I think that the great advantage of a Ty is keeping things real simple, and this way you avoid any plumbing, tanks etc.
