VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> Dakare has two heads, one electric and one manual.  We decided to get only one electric head because we wanted to have a fail-safe backup system in case there was a power problem.  The logic is still valid but we are so impressed with the ease and  convenience of use and the problem free maintenance of the Jabsco Model 37275-series designer styled electric toilet that we have installed, that we almost regret having gotten a manual head in lieu of a second electric head.  That attitude is somewhat exaccerbated by the the high-end Crittenden - Wilcox manual head that we purchased.  Shortly after commissioning hte boat, the whole manual head had to be disassembled and sent back to the factory for an internal part replacement.  The part had failed becuase W-C had installed  an inferior metal part taht quickly corroded and broke.  Although they repaired the head, there still was the grief of de-installing the head, sending it bakck to the factory, reinstalling, phone calls, etc.  On the other hand, the Jabsco unit has been a blessing.  We use it almost 100% of the time and after 5+ years of constant usage, the only thing that we needed to replace was a seal.  Not exactly fun to do but compared to the gried of the W-C head, it was a easy task. (By the way, the replacement of the seal is a maintenance item every 5 years as identified in the manual.) We highly recommend the Jabsco Model 37275-series designer styled toilet:</div> <bR> <div> Spare Parts for the <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FFFFCC" FACE="Arial" >Jabsco Model 37275-series designer styled toilet:</FONT></div> <div> 1) Seal Housing # 37043-1000<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FFFFCC" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> 2) O-ring # 43990-0066<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FFFFCC" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> 3) Seal # 1040-0000<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FFFFCC" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> 4) Base Assembly # 37004-1000<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FFFFCC" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> 5) Mcerator Housing # 37014-0000</div> <bR> <bR> <div> Dakare also has electric pump-out systems and mercerator discharge systems for both the forward and aft heads.  Additionally, tank monitoring systems were also installed for both forward and aft holding tanks.</div> </td> </tr></table></body>
