I have a ten year old Sealand Mariner pot. It has a crack across the bottom and has been found to be leaking. I don't want to replace it. I like the concept but it appears to have weaknesses. I still have water, a vent and a pump out hose. Any suggestions as to whether to go with a decent porta potty - take the container off and empty it. Or get the same type and plumb it in. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I know its a s----y subject but I'll have to go sooner or later. I'll save you the description of dis-installing a leaking pot.
thanks,

Not being a big fan of porta-potties, I installed a Raritan(?) model PH-II marine head and 16gal holding tank. The PH-II got high marks from Practical Sailor when tested against similarly priced heads. I've been satisfied with its performance.

One suggestion it sounds like you've already figured out -- do it right the first time while the parts are all still clean.

I have the large capacity Sanipottie. For our limited use it is perfect at present. Previously the best head I ever installed personally was a Raritan PH II (had three of them over the years) and it was excellent. Big issue, of course, is whether you need a fixed installation v/s a portable one. If portable, Practical Sailor rated the Sanip[ottie highest some time back.
