Blimey, getting around all the different State rules is doing my head in.
Right, I'm a few miles from Queensland. I'd intended to get a porta pottie or similar to conform to Qld regs. However, I see that if you have a fixed toilet you MUST have a macerator, even if you are not going to use it.
I have a manual Jabsco, can I simply fit an electric macerator between the toilet and the skin fitting or will this ruin the manual toilet pump?
I've searched online for ages, but can't find the answer.
If yes, would before or after the vented loop be better.
As ever, thanks for any advice
Cheers

I know that there are stories about people getting fined but I have never seen anyone checking. I would urge you to fit a holding tank as well. It is really nice to be able to swim on a lovely reef and dump your waste many miles away under sail.

You can get an electric conversion kit. This is 24v however the page also identifies 12v option - but a new electric toilet would be cheaper. Trying to add an electric macerator between manual toilet and skin fitting would be very tricky, likely even more messy, unless you add the macerator as pump out from a holding tank.
you know where the boat lives, call me and arrange a time.

can you flush those macerator loos when you are out of power?
Ahh....NO and I've found it best to flush No2s before flushing paper. [you can work that out
]
And no tissues or kitchen paper wipes!
