I entertained the thought of leaving in the original head.....
Did the original head just dump overboard? I believe they outlawed those kind, but, if it was "original" wouldn't it have been grandfathered in??
Yes, they were grandfathered in. Not sure of the current regs. but probably still holds for the originals. You can be sure that since he has changed it, he can't go back -LEGALLY anyways.
I looked it up a while back. They were grandfathered in initially. I forget the year, but there was a date certain that they all became illegal. You had to convert to a holding tank to be legal. It's kinda ironic, you can use a bucket and then toss the contents overboard, but you can't have a head on board that does the same thing. Another example of one size fits all legislation, I guess.

Just another example of "Stinkin Thinkin" legislation - So, What else is new?
