Hello all, My 73 C27 had a Raritan head and it was not working. I got some bad info re. replacing the pumping mechanism and it was supposedly not available (it was), so I bought the Jabsco unit. It did hang over slightly, but thought that it was ok. I didn't like the way I would have to plumb into the thru-hulls (drilling new and larger holes thru the bulkhead, so took it back. The owner said he was sorry for the misinformation and paid me back. I ordered the Raritan pumping unit and now back in business utilizing the existing holes.

There is still plenty of contact area for the unit - but the front corner off the bowl isn't going to fit. The boat is a 79 and the head is a Jabsco compact twist/n lock unit.

If the old holes are a problem, use some Marinetex to fill in the old holes and drill your new holes. John J.
