This Jabsco Quiet Flush E2 is the 12V DC fresh water model, an electric marine toilet with a compact bowl. The bowl is 14.0 inches high, 13.9 wide and 16.3 deep, and the unit weighs 34.2 lb. Eco mode uses 1 litre per flush. The no-spill empty function leaves the bowl dry when the boat is moving, the discharge pump turns 180 degrees to match the base, and the seat closes slowly and quietly. The recommended fuse size is 25A.

Our take

The no-spill empty function leaves the bowl dry while the boat is in motion, which is the sort of detail that matters once the boat is moving. Eco mode at 1 litre per flush also keeps use of the fresh water supply down.

From our buying guide

A vessel with installed toilet facilities must have an operable marine sanitation device that is labeled or certified. EPA says untreated sewage may not be discharged within three miles from shore, and in a No Discharge Zone treated sewage may not be either.

Check before you buy:

  • You have what it needs, since heads may call for 12-volt power, through-hulls and seacocks, or a separate vacuum source.
  • It fits the compartment, since Jabsco says an electric toilet needs more space at the rear than a manual one.
  • If it could sit below the waterline, you'll fit a vented loop as the maker specifies, since Jabsco warns the vent, not the loop, is what stops the siphon.
