In order to keep from clogging the head, with minimal TP usage, frequent flushes would seem in order. My concern is the electric drain on the house batteries by the flushes. Also, is there typically a manual pump that can be used in lieu of the electric pump? The boat doesn't have a genset but does have 340ah of house batteries.


Your Moorings charter will have plenty of power to get you through the week of flushes. If you kill the batteries from flushing too much there is a hospital just down the road in Road Town... pirate
