A big crappy problem!

[Victoria Sponge]

Look, it’s natural and I am not ashamed but I find boat toilet bowls just too small.
I may not be eating the right diet or it may be that I am built wrong but I am sure I am not the only one. That little hole peering up at me is just too small and the angel there would mean I need to produce rabbit droppings to get round it.
I may be going around the problem all wrong but the skylight in the heads ceiling is of more use.
Does anyone else have the same problem or have you found a way of overcoming it?
I should ask NASSA I suppose but they have not launched as many projectiles as me.

I really don't have a problem personally. Perhaps you need to cut down on the prunes?

the original invoice from the builder of my boat shows the buyer paying extra for a large bowl toilet. which means there are such things. so if you havent already got one, then buy one.

If you already do have one, then I suggest a diet - curry, prunes, exlax

Its not the size of the bowl, it the hole at the bottom.
i cannot belive Iam the only one with this problem or am I the only one to admit to it.
The angel is safe as nothing goes that way.

I'm surprised no one has yet mentioned the 48 hour problem. When putting to sea one's system shuts down for about 48 hours before returning to normal fairly abruptly. On a long passage that's when you usually get blocked heads. As always the answer is pump as you go. Far more effective than drastic solutions like not putting the paper down.

Good to see toilet humour is alive and well!

Seriously there are larger Jabscos readily available, but often there is not enough room to fit them. Lavacs are more "powerful" - even without the beating, or you could look at the new breed of electric toilets on the market.

We've gone from crapping to beating! If that gets stuck in the angel we've surely got a major problem on our hands (er....hand).

If only Armitage Shanks made a sea toilet ..............

It would have the power.

I was thinking of someting like they have on areoplanes where it is sucked out. I could fire them as mortors. Ideal in the gulf for the pirates.

How can a toilet which is apparently not connected be the solution to anything!

Change your diet. A healthy diet which includes plenty of fibre and fresh vegetables should result in soft stools (but not too soft - peanut butter consistency) which flush easily.

Equally, if you're eating a healthy diet, you should be able to last a day without needing to go, reducing the likelyhood of passing stools on the boat.

 

[penfold]

Unless you're passing turds that are hard enough to crack the pan, you just aren't pumping vigorously enough. Even toleys large enough to have douaniers and their own gravitational pull can be ingested by the plumbing, possibly encouraged by draping a bogroll cape around it for extra drag.

 

[Ubergeekian]

The Jouster had an SL401 and Jumblie has an RM69. I have never produced a turd which either of them couldn't cope with. It's often easier if you make sure there is a fair amount of liquid in the bowl - sea water or urine - before trying to pump the turd through.

Hasn't this gone away yet?

 

[Nostrodamus]

Well I suppose it is about time this one went down the pan.
To be honest a lot of the answers were ****
I will just have to log it down to experience
I have been floating between a couple of things to try but in the end I doubt that anything will leave me flushed with a solution. I need to get rid of the big fried breakfasts. Then again I could just keep with the beating stick.
Hopefully this will bring this post to an end, after all only a bum could write a post like this.

As my old Dad used to say "It's sticking like sh*t to a blanket!)

I'm sure I read somewhere that that had been done. The engineer on a ship cross-connected the sewage settling tank to the fire hose system, and "discouraged" a boatload of pirates. Can't find a link now unfortunately.
