In reference to post 30, the only head to put in is a Marine Elegance IMO.

I have 3 MEs and they have been flawless for living aboard for 5 years. I would be curious to hear about Dometics toilet (not sure of model) that is supposed to compete with the ME, but has a stronger macerator with 4 blades instead of the MEs two.

I installed the ME over a year ago based on Dave's advice and it was the right call.

You did ( as well as Peggie)....and you certainly know your crap! I always show off the ME to all my new guests....then I try to explain to the manly ones that they need to sit to pee as I'm tired of cleaning up after everyone. Guess I'd do better not inviting anyone aboard for our little cruises.

Yes, everyone sits to go to the bathroom on our boat. I added a bidet attachment to our ME and absolutely love it. Saves on TP going through the head. It does use a bit of water but not a significant amount.

We installed a Marine Elegance last summer, and love it. As my wife would say, 'It is a game changer". We love it.

I bought the bidet for my ME. Did you just t-off the water intake hose, or did you go full on and go hot water?

Any clever ideas on how to add a bidet to this toilet?
Just went thru this- we had an old SeaEra head (saltwater flush) go TU, and in the replacement process, my wife wanted a bidet- so, I installed a Masterflush 8100 and this bidet from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007HIKPQC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 This was...

I only use the cold water. I have cold bidets in our house in Michigan and don’t have an issue with just cold. My wife doesn’t like the cold water but I really don’t have any problems with it. In the boat I wouldn’t want hot water because you will waste water and holding tank capacity waiting for the hot water to get to the head.

Scottwb may have ruined me by attaching a link to the BioBidet BB2000 (I think the Jetsons referred to this model). It heats the incoming cold water, air dries, self cleans, male and female settings, remote control (Im assuming for messing with your spouse), air freshener, and a night light! And only $500!

Can you put a price on remotely spraying your spouse’s undercarriage?

She doesn’t have back issues that makes it extremely difficult to use TP. So I don’t care one way or the other if she uses the bidet. But it works very well for me.

Picture me on the couch with the remote. Wife goes into the head and then me randomly pushing the spray button.

Priceless. Even better if we give the remote to Mrs. Dave.
Hey Dave, just kidding.
