Re: Stus-List Composting head in 33-2?

[Bill Coleman via CnC-List]

The 12 Gallon was immediately in front of the Head, on the side, so, 
Asymmetrical.
I replaced it with a 39 Gallon Symmetrical Kracor that fit nearly perfectly in 
the bow under the V Berth.

I have a 12 Gallon holding tank I took out of my 39 several years ago, along 
with some pump, maybe macerator, etc. if anyone is interested. Cannot 
guarentte the electiical parts work, but they did when I removed them.

I love your question and look forward to responses. We, on our 33-1 are 
looking at the same issue. In our case we have had no real holding tank (a 6 
gallon job which was never used) but have used an electro-scan Type 1 Marine 
Sanitation Device. As Puget Sound in now a no discharge zone we need to 
choose our next system. The composting head sounds like an interesting 
option but I too would like to here what others have experienced. They are 
not cheap but neither is a custom made holding tank. I’ve looked at the many 
prefabricated tanks and have not found one which would fit our situation.

Re: Stus-List Composting head in 33-2?

[Robert Boyer via CnC-List]

I routed the 2-inch exhaust hose to exit on the forward outboard section of the 
cockpit coaming.  This required that I use a shield to prevent green water from 
splashing into the hose.  I mounted the fan around the corner from the vent 
location.  I had to use a little more hose than was normally supplied and I had 
to move up to a slightly larger fan because of the longer hose.

Keep in mind that you should completely clean it out before storing for the 
winter—therefore 24/7 electricity is not required in the winter.

Re: Stus-List Composting head in 33-2?

[Shawn Wright via CnC-List]

You might be surprised about winter solar performance. I'm in BC, and my
brother's place on the gulf islands just got a 4kW solar system installed,
with 900W of panels. The standby consumption of the inverter is about 10W
(not bad considering the 4kW output). But what I was most surprised was
that we were seeing 100W of power from the panels even during the days of
full cloud cover and heavy rain in early September. I would assume the
small 12V fan in a toilet will draw less than 1W, and if you have an
efficient solar inverter/charging system, it may not be a problem even in
the dark days of winter.
When we do find a boat, I'll definitely be investigating a composting
toilet, along with a solar system.

This info is great. We measured the head compartment and the airhead unit would 
fit. Just. Our biggest concerns are where to locate the vent and how to deal 
with the 24/7 need for electricity. How did you guys deal with these issues? 
SLY has no anchor locker in which to lead the vent nor shore power to support 
24/7 electrical consumption. A solar panel might work but here in the northwest 
we see precious little sun in the winter. And we are concerned that a deck led

Re: Stus-List Composting head in 33-2?

[Robert Boyer via CnC-List]

We have had a composting head (Air Head) for several years now and love it.  It 
sits a little higher than a standard toilet but we got used to it.  We live 
aboard and go south every winter and we have to empty the solids container 
every 3 weeks (2 people).  As I recall, composting requires a temp of at least 
55 degrees F which is not a problem for us but could be for some people who 
keep their boats in cold weather.  I have more info on my blog...

Re: Stus-List Composting head in 33-2?

[Chris Graham via CnC-List]

I used an airhead on my Vega many years ago. Definitely not cheap and it was 
huge, a bit unsightly as it was placed in a tight space, but no odor, I picked 
up a ton of storage when the tank was removed. The newer models are just as 
expensive but far more compact now that they have discovered the marine market. 
No more holes in the boat which is a great relief to me. I think I paid close 
to $700 on my model 10 years or so ago? If I get the C&C I’m looking at this 
fall. I will more than likely move on another composting toilet. Not 100% 
maintenance free, but way less work than the standard heads.

I love your question and look forward to responses. We, on our 33-1 are looking 
at the same issue. In our case we have had no real holding tank (a 6 gallon job 
which was never used) but have used an electro-scan Type 1 Marine Sanitation 
Device. As Puget Sound in now a no discharge zone we need to choose our next 
system. The composting head sounds like an interesting option but I too would 
like to here what others have experienced. They are not cheap but neither is a 
custom made holding tank. I’ve looked at the many prefabricated tanks and have 
not found one which would fit our situation.

Stus-List Composting head in 33-2?

[Dave S via CnC-List]

Has anyone installed a composting head in a 33 or similar?
Have been contemplating replacement of my stench-impregnated holding tank and 
hoses and it was suggested I look at a composting head instead.  
Very tempting for many reasons, plus a huge gain in interior space below the 
v-berth.   
 my only concern is size of the unit itself and I wonder  if anyone has already 
been down this road.   Any thoughts or guidance?
Thanks!

Re: Stus-List composting head

[Dr. Mark Bodnar via CnC-List]

  
  


I put in a composting head last year.  Really like it.  I will
  admit it adds a bit of an extra challenge when having guests
  because you need to explain the process a little --- but not
  really that much different that a manual toilet that requires a
  lesson for toilet use.  Some people find it a little "gross".
I put in a Natures Head.  Works well.  No flies in the first
  year.  Less smell than my old toilet.  I've not yet completely
  removed my old hoses - as I wanted to make sure before I removed
  the seacocks.


One suggestion (that I have yet to employ) is to put a small 12V
  pump (say a car windshield washer fluid pump) on a switch to pump
  the liquids out of the small tank and into the sink drain pipe. 
  That solve the problem of carrying a jug of urine around and
  dumping it.

Stus-List composting head

[Jean-Francois J Rivard via CnC-List]

It may depend how much you use it and your regional climate. 


I know that many composting devotees praise the system however, 2 
neighboring boats have one and both kinda wish they didn't. 

On one boat it's a live aboard couple, the PO (Whom installed the 
composting head because he had found it for almost nothing, tried it / 
liked it) they say that the smell is not necessary an issue but having to 
frequently drain the liquid stuff and the occasional fly issues is grating 
on their nerves. They would prefer to pump and may reconvert the boat. 

The other boat is a single guy, hard core live aboard with all the latest 
ideas on his boat and he's also complaining about flies "if you don't stay 
on top of it with the wet and dry balance" whatever that means. In any 
case, he thought it would be ideal as he's contemplating getting off the 
lake for extended cruising, now he's questioning if that was such a great 
idea.. 

Here's a link on fly and other issues..

We also had an Airhead on our 26. Loved it so much it moved with us to the 
Pearson 424.
It has some idiosyncrasies (nothing major) but being able to live life without 
sewer plumbing in a boat is WELL worth it.

I have an AirHead-brand composting toilet and it works great!  We've had it for 
almost a year now.  I have written two blog posts on it if you are interested.  
No odors whatsoever!!!
