Modifications

[Tail Chaser]

I'm a new member as of 2 day and I have owned my Grady for 5 Months and have had a Great time. Great Boat for Hoop Netting Lobster and Fishing for anything.
My Question is has anyone changed out their Toilet for a larger one on a 272 Sailfish. Sounds like a strange question right, but we enjoy spending several nights at the islands and it would come in handy.
Hope you can help!

I changed the standard 10-gal Groco holding tank to the 15-gal Groco "SweetTank". Air is pumped in to the tank 24/7 - no chemicals, no odor.

Also converted the head to electric flush.

Picked it up from the fuse block under the helm. Added a fuse, and ran the power to the other side of the forward bulkhead in the head, then came through that bulkhead to connect to the conversion unit.

It's a bit loud, but it has never failed to take a suction on the sea water side, it has a built-in macerator, and it sure beats manual flushing.

I did it when the manual pump needed a rebuild anyway...
