Don't underestimate the benefits of fresh water heads. We had two Vacuflush heads on our last boat, and they were awesome. They use very little water, lessened the number of through hulls needs, and no seawater smell. Plus, because they used so little water, it actually made our "apparent" holding tank capacity much larger. I'm missing all of that in a big way now that I'm back to traditional saltwater heads. For the moment. I think it best to have one manual seawater head on the boat in case everything goes wrong electrically/water capacity-wise, but a fresh water head actually is a very nice thing to have in terms of creature comfort. As with so many things, if you have never had one, careful before you judge. And if you don't want one, never charter a boat with one with the Admiral; you may have no choice when you return.
