Yeah that thing is a beeatch. Not sure what else to do. I entertained moving it up to the front of the couch before the v-berth, but don't want to replumb the pump out. Oh well, just close the cabin door, and leave the head door open...

Also, don't loose your 775, or you will be redoing the floor. It's no longer for sale and it's the only model that fits into that custom fitting in the floor. You can get parts, but that's it. My 311 didn't come with it, but I lucked out by converting a 735 I already had to a 775 (same top, different holding tank). Otherwise it would have been a project to refit it for another head

The 775 has a fitting on it that connects to the pump out fitting on the side of the boat. So no holding tank, just what the base holds.

And I thought this thread was about something else!

For $30, I'll send you an empty red bucket from The Round House at Put-In-Bay (it's tradition around these parts). I'd send a full one for you, but the post office won't allow fluids in the packages.

While we are on the subject . . . is there any magic to pumping that bad-boy out? "We" had to use it due to some unfortunate late evening drunken antics that put "us" in a position not to be able to us the lake . . . not that anyone ever does that, mind you. Is it simply hook 'er up and let 'er suck at the pump out station?

It is a tight space but when it is needed its there. I cant figure out how to get water into it to flush it out. We have just been bucketing water into it. DUH anyone know what needs to be turned on???
