Porta potty to electric head

[bendog6]

Howdy all! I have a 2003 282 that has the porta potty. I want to convert to an electric flush head. Has anyone done this and any advice? Thanks!

I have replaced a manual head with an electric one. Here is the thing, if your porta potti is a pump out one that has a holding tank, then this is a relatively simple project - mount, wire and plumb the new head to the existing holding tank and plumb it to a water source - an existing freshwater system or install a through hull and pump to pull seawater to flush the head. If you do not have a holding tank, then in addition to the above, you will need to install a holding tank, I am guessing a 282 in that year was available with a pump out head, yours just didn't have one.

Depending, this could become a big project.
