Re: Upgrading Headsw
Welcome to the forum......can you say what heads you have now...electric macerator type or vacuflush type ?
FWIW.....The above is just my opinion.

We have the old macerator type, we are looking at vacuflush or will gravity work? Thank you for the welcome so glad this forum is here!

Re: Upgrading Heads
If you have macerators, you can't just change to vacuflush heads. You need to also install the vacuflush tanks with vac pumps etc. probably several $ K.
I have jabsco quiet flush heads on my 355. other than replacing the duckbills every few years, I have not had any problems.

Re: Upgrading Heads
I have vacuflush now in my 405 but in my previous boat a trojan f32 I installed a raritan marine elegance head and it worked great. May check them out.
