[Rhodes22-list] Lectrasan

[Eaton, Gil]

	Robert,
	I have a Lectrason on my 36' footer.  It does require a hefty
battery to operate, I think it's about 40 amps for a minute or two.  I like
it on the Chesapeake bay, no holding tank odor.  The one problem in fresh
water like Rock Hall requires adding salt water.  Without a source of salt
water it doesn't work (I use supplementary salt water solution for
operation).  It's relatively compact, about the same size as the Rhodes
holding tank...but might be a bit taller, finding a spot for installation
might require Stan's genius.
	Good Luck,
	gil

Thanks to all for info.  Rik's pump is still in FAQ and Mary Lou makes a
nice case for portapotties.  It is hard to say how I will use the boat.  Day
sailer at first, but then hopefully more lengthily cruises.  The Rhodes
versatility was a big draw.  We are located in Cortez, Fl. (west of
Bradenton), so the boat at least will have  no trouble reaching the 3 mi.
limit.  Toying with the idea of asking Stan to install the plumbing without
the head and giving porapotty an initial trial.  Only drawback I can think
of would be possibly unneeded holes in the boat.  One thing became clear:
nobody champions Lectrasan as resolving the dilemma.
