Plumbing, Heads & Tanks

Two Marine Elegance Smart Toilets, New Wiring & a Custom Black Water Tank

The heads were the biggest comfort upgrade we've made. Both the VIP (forward) cabin and the midships cabin now have new Marine Elegance smart toilets — and doing it properly meant a lot more than swapping two bowls.

What the job involved

  • Removing the old plumbing that served the original heads.
  • New wiring with circuit breakers to power the electric toilets safely.
  • A new black water tank — custom-built — to complete the updated system. (The 2023 survey had noted a strong odor around the old holding tank.)

What you get

  • Porcelain bowls — they look and clean like a household toilet.
  • Various smart flushing options from the wall control panel.
  • A tank monitor gauge, so you always know the black water level.
