Keith- A follow up. Not to be "Picky", up here a deck bucket with a toilet seat utilized within a head room or on deck in the glory of a new dawn day, with a cup of coffee, qualifies as a portable tolilet. At least those so outfitted seemingly pass USCG inspection. Of course, any installed waste equipment must be titled and noted as out of order by sign and phsical restraint. I mean, Keith, when out in my 14 foot wineglass Whitehall skiff, I use a coffee can.
