New Electric Head on my 270

I just replaced my old Jabsco manual toilet to a Johnson Aqua-T toilet.  I was able to rotate the toilet so it sits back in the corner adding more room and I added some faux glass tile under the toilet to cover the old screw holes.  Now everything needs a good cleaning.

    Great improvement. Had I kept my 2013 EC 310 i was going to rotate it too. I talked with Randy Rinker about its positioning. He actually went to the factory floor and sat on one lol. He called me back and agreed saying future versions would be rotated a couple of inches. Like you did he told me to just re-glass the holes but I like the tile you did better.

    Ya, it was strange the way they had it in there, but I think it was to compensate for the footprint of the manual toilet.  That's a good story about Randy Rinker.  At least they listened to what their customers were saying.

    @JonnyM.....yeah the way the toilet was positioned I had to leave the door open. The Admiral did not like that too much. I told Randy and he asked if I was kidding him. Then he went to the factory floor.....too funny, right? true story - honest!

    I had 2 wires that were for the stereo amplifier originally that I used.  They ran right up behind the head.  Your boat may have been pre wired for an electric head.

    Great job @JonnyM. What is the amperage draw on this toilet? My 280EC is prewired for a vacuflush system and I found the wires while running new remote lines for my stereo.

    @JonnyM did the factory inlet/outlet hook right up with no problems? Any other mods needed?
