Labor of Love

We spent this Labor Day weekend with one of our 1st major refit projects aboard Kaleo. September is dedicated to all things plumbing so we started with upgrading our manual-only toilet to an electric / manual back-up, Lavac. The 1st step was to have the holding tanks pumped out and rinsed followed by removing the old toilet. The greatest challenge was engineering a hose run that involved an electric pump, a manual back-up pump and a downhill run to the tank - all within the confines of the space below the v-berth.

We're happy to report that with the help of Christie's dad, Craig, the install was a success within "plan a" and without any sacrifices. We now have the convenience of an electric head with a manual back-up in case of power failure.
