You'll appreciate this. I'm 6'6". I bought a 2013 RinKer EC 310. I could not use the toilet without leaving the door to the head open. Nice eh? I telephoned Rinker and they passed me to Randy. He said "Really?". I asked Randy, "It looks like the toilet is mounted to the gel coat flooring by a couple of bolts or lags. Can I loosen one and remove the other then twist the entire toilet to Port to get more room, then re-install the last lag and just repair the old hole with gel coat?" Randy said "Yes, the flooring under the fiberglass is marine ply and you can re-locate the toilet." He asked "Is that really necessary?" I said, "You're a big enough guy, you try to sit on one, LOL" He told me there was a new EC 310 coming down the assembly line and he'd go have a look at it. He e.mailed me back a few hours later and said that he had someone from the engineering department down to the EC 310 and asked him to sit on the toilet. As a result - from that boat on the toilets on all EC 310s have been re-oriented..... and I have the e.mail to prove it LOL! Of all the changes I thought I could have influence over on a boat that was NOT one of them :-) ......so I get your pain. I'd look at changing the position of the toilet by rotating it slightly - IF, you can. I KNOW everyone on the forum has to hear the final resolution on this. Even with Canadian healthcare it has to be cheaper to re-orient the toilet or its seat than shorten the Captain's legs!
