Is getting rid of the wife and daughter an option?

Have you ever fit a larger tank than the 6 gallon in a 37? I have a wife and daughter and with a electric toilet that uses a half gallon or more per flush it fills quickly. Appreciate any feedback on this.

How many head buttons do you have?
Mine has a Flush, Fill and Drain button.
Typically, we just whiz in it, put a splash of water on top and hit the drain button, and spray it with Lysol.

HA! Need them both, daughter for the deduction and wife to pay for boat!!

To be honest, I miss my vacuflush... A LOT. The electric head always spits upward on the flush. I cleaned the vent, changed the vent line, replaced the waste line to the tank, replaced the joker valve.

At this point I am almost ready to buy a new motor/grinder Assy.

But, I would still like a larger tank if it will fit. Have you tried?

Pat put a 9 gallon in my 33 during the rigging, it's under the throttles. I believe the brand of mine is Todd, from somewhere on the east coast. Check their website and get the specs and check if it'll fit. So what exactly is the problem with your toilet?

He has a wife and daughter. No taking a leak off the platform. Hence the problem!

The switch in the bottom left of that picture has:
Flush
Fill
Drain
...in separate functions; similar to the way mine came way back when. Rewiring to that setup shouldn't be a big deal, but you would just have to acquire that switch separate.
