  • One of the most important devices in your boat is the Marine Sanitation Device. What do you know about the poop your boat stores? How do you maintain a smell-free head? What's important to know about the head and toilet on your boat?
    In this video I go through a bit of history and options available in boats on the market today and what to look for before buying that dream yacht. Don't but a boat without knowing this important information.

    I'm not a Certified Hockeyologist, but the NoFlex digester actually works. It's a game changer.

      Experience is better than theory! We love the stuff.

      Thank you. Do you think it's too long and should be shortened up into several different videos?

    Fresh water makes the difference in the smell. I do plumbing and HVAC for s living… holding tanks give me nightmares and I know a lot of boaters with sanitation problems past and present. I’m a sailor now and I use a composting because of space mainly. I have my eyes on a 48 of my own one day and I’ll install fresh water system.

      Absolutely! Our boat came from the factory with raw water toilets, and a previous owner converted the system to fresh water. I would assume most of these boats were converted at some point, but you never know what you'll find out there. One of the best things about the 48' IMHO is the single 80-gallon holding tank with separate access for each head. One tank to empty but two ways to fill it. Boat life! It's odd what we find important 🤔

    Yes indeed. Ive used your secret potion for one season and the growlers are no longer stinking up the boat.

      Even your's? That's some potent stuff then 😁

    Thanks for the video. Good rundown of marine sanitation devices and a useful tip. One point of order: the "poop deck" has nothing to do with poop :) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poop_deck

    Sooo...Assuming my wife and I realize our dream of going 'round the loop on our own boat one day, could we use Charmin if we also used the Zoal religiously?

      No, I would not recommend this...at all! We use Scott's RV and Marine and found it doesn't dissolve in our hands; it's kind of like the chocolate in M&M's. A good test for you to see what's happening is to put a legitimate sample size of paper in a bucket and see how long it takes to break down. Another thing to remember is that, unlike an RV, the holding tank is not discharged by gravity. It has to be sucked out, in many boats from the top of the tank. If the TP becomes a ball of fiber, a pumpout will not have enough power to pull it out from the bottom of the holding tank. Hope this helps and good travels!

    Um, so confused why I got this recommended

      Sorry It's for boaters. Thinking of sailing?
