Hahaha, I won’t be without a power flushing toilet. Women pee frequently, especially when drinking beer....and after years of “I gotta pee” I don’t want to hear it, and now I don’t have to!😂
You nailed it with that. All I hear now is could you stop the boat for a minute. Followed by sure, who needs a drink?
I love not having to beater back to shore for the ladies.

This is all you need.

I guess it is because you guys live in colder climates. I get no complaints from the gals when I tell them they have to go in the water like the guys.

I got the surf storage in my R5 Surf. It only holds four small surf boards the longer ones won’t fit. I ended up taking out the board rack and using bags for the surf boards and wake boards with room left over for a tube.
Behind the board rack is unfinished and doesn’t look very good. I wish I just would’ve ordered the standard head and removed it, I think it would have turned out much better.

Could you buy the material and glue it to the backing to make it look nice.

Shutting the door on the compartment is easier. :)

The head was the only requirement by Mrs akor, with 2 young ones and a wife I’d spend more time docked for potty breaks thank boating. I’ve never used it, but the rest of the fam does all the time. I can still store the bow filler cushion and day bag in there, so works great for us.

Did the 5 gal bucket with a Bass Pro camping toilet seat that snapped on the top in our last boat, had plenty of room on the bilge for it, but privacy was limited and I had to shut the engine off for people to use it. Was nice and warm when it got cool at night though!

Here’s what the surf storage compartment looks like with the board holder removed. Not very pretty but a lot more functional for storage.

I like that net holder you put up, do you happen to have a link to it?

Hello, along these lines, I have a 2017 R7 Surf and I want to remove the toilet. Is it difficult to do? Any pointers? Thank you!

Hey jpm. Welcome to the Cobaltchat forum. So glad you found us!

What type of head do you have installed? Vacu flush? Sani pottie? Honestly it wouldn’t be too difficult to remove. Pull and cap the lines after you unbolt or unlatch the head. Any pics?

Feel free to start an intro thread.

Again welcome aboard mate!
