The problem is the space for the plumbing. The vent shouldn't be too hard to arrange, though.Scott B.

Your girlfriend may rebel against this; but it does seem to help.<BR/><BR/>2) After use, close the flap and pump a little water into the bowl. The extra water seems to help the seal, well, seal better.<BR/><BR/>The portapotti I have has a vent line. I don't see one in your pictures. It might be necessary to avoid a buildup of unpleasant gases. Looking at your boat, I'm not sure how you would plumb it in, though.<BR/><BR/>In any case, I rarely (if ever) notice the pots smell any more. I am assuming that I haven't become somehow immune to it.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02811770895743463962noreply@blogger.com
