The Marine Elegance 220AHF012 is a compact electric toilet from Raritan that runs on 12V DC. It has a vitreous china elongated bowl and macerates waste with stainless steel blades before the discharge pump moves it on. The flush runs under 63 decibels. It is set up for a pressurized freshwater supply. The discharge pump lifts up to 10 feet vertically and pushes up to 100 feet horizontally. The footprint measures 8-1/2 by 9-3/4 inches, and the angled back lets it sit closer to the bulkhead.

Our take

The discharge pump handles 10 feet of lift and 100 feet of run, which gives room in where the head can sit. It needs a pressurized freshwater supply, so check the boat's water system before choosing it. The flush stays under 63 decibels.

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.
