The Sea Era QC is a 12V electric macerating toilet with a household style bowl and an integral intake pump, so the water connections are all at the toilet. The bowl can be rotated 90 degrees for confined spaces or a retrofit. The discharge fitting takes 1-1/2 inch or 1 inch lines with no adapter. The inlet pump lifts water from four feet below the toilet and can run dry without damage, and the discharge pump handles a vented loop up to five feet high. A push-button switch is included.
Our take
The inlet pump lifts water from four feet below the toilet and can run dry without damage, so a dry-running intake will not ruin it. The discharge fitting takes both 1-1/2 inch and 1 inch lines without adapters, so either hose size connects.
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.
