Boat Port-a-Potty
On our short 5 day trip on our little 21 foot sailboat we
tried not to have to use the port-a-potty any more than we had to for obvious
reasons. That potty is at least 20 years old, but it is still functional. *-)
I checked it out to see if it had chemicals in it and that
it was empty before the trip and everything was OK. The chemicals were very old
and the first time it was used I found the Chemicals smelled worse than what went
in the potty. The wife had given me a bottle of new chemicals for it, but I
left the bottle at home in the dock box because the potty had a full reservoir
of chemicals. We had to put a plastic bag over the potty to keep the smell
down. That was an easy solution but I heard about leaving the new fresh chemicals
at home anytime the potty was needed.
Even the dog thought it was offensive. I think it is time
for a new potty…I think after 20 years the seals may be gone in it…but at least it
did not leak and it was functional. I sure was glad the forward hatch was just
above the potty niche.
