My 25 came with a plastic "tray" about 4 inches deep that is mounted to the floor, and holds the port-a-pottie. The plastic has gotten brittle over the years, and broken.
The shape and color matches the port-a-pottie, so one would assume it came from the manufacturer. I called a couple manufacturers, each of whom said it is not from them, but seemed like a pretty good idea. (thanks)
Anyone else have one of these, or better yet; has anyone ever replaced one?

Good idea, but I just put a wood frame around one on my last boat. If you need a tray for anything else, you need a new port-a-pottie.

I use a 3/8 line to tie the handle to a fairlead fastened to the hull behind the potty. We have rolled the potty into the cabin floor during a race where I allowed the boat to roll up and without a drop spilled a crew member had to set on it for the rest of the race while going to windward. The tray seems good for any spills and the potties come with a hold down with clamps but I didn't have the room to use them. A Walmart tray that could be installed and cleaned easily might serve the purpose. When cruising I have an extra bottom tank stored in a plastic bag so we don't have to plan the cruise around dump stations. It was cheaper to buy a complete unit rather than just the tank so I have a back up. The boat is a 79 and we have used the boat with Grandchildren, need I say more.

Dump often.
