Sorry I mentioned it. And don't remember every detail from this thread:

Ok, though it doesn't look like a mast step to me. I did scan the thread for earlier photos but didn't see any. Post 245 doesn't show it clearly.

Why the big uncovered hole in the floor? Looks like a hazard.

It's recommended for all ages, daily, when you're not taking showers.  Along with clean underwear.

There is no possible way for that to be adequate!  The best advice I have on this subject is the same as what I posted in another thread a week ago: alcohol wipes!  Daily use after a bowel movement to thoroughly clean yourself, including your legs and crotch, goes a very long way to...

Did you try the new head at home before ripping the old one out of the boat?  I would want to be sure it works better first, which means using the new one until its full and going through the process of disposing the waste material, eh? 

I believe the main priority for the Gates Foundation toilet grants is to eliminate deaths and disease from unsanitary conditions that affect "almost half the world’s population".  Doing it without using precious water and expensive sewage systems is a practical reality, but all these desiccating...

It could be far more extreme.  This "solution" is an example of what happens when more dollars than [good] sense are applied to the problem.

A cheap DIY approach to the problem, with some thoughtful tips:

An advantage of the OGO system just occurred to me; you can "flush" the toilet (start the stirring process) while still seated, reducing the smelly air exposure  time.

Sandy Graves explains it pretty well around the two minute mark in this video:

With all due respect, that's not what "serious cruising, including offshore" means to me.  It's not a brilliant insight to suggest that people who choose them haven't considered all the issues.

Where do you dump your holding tank "when you are off serious cruising, including offshore?"  Or for that matter, anywhere on the entire island of Kauai?  None of the harbors had a pump-out station or service when I lived there.

Despite the inherent reliability of its simple design, manually stirring the shit is a hassle that many would prefer to avoid.  Best would be a powered system for cranking the C-Head with the manual crank only as backup.  I strongly prefer the standard bucket of the C-Head with no hole in the...

Looks good, more civilized (no hand crank to stir after pooping) though more complex so many more points of failure than the C-Head.  The hole in the bottom of the "solids bin" for the agitator drive shaft will surely leak at some point?  Even the mechanism to open the trap door looks...
