Groco model EB solid Bronze marine toilet new

Up for grabs is this Groco model EB marine head.
Their top of the line model. solid bronze casting . This is the commercial model . Built to work and built to last. I believe they stopped making the EB …and now just make the K model ….but parts are interchangeable …and rebuild kits are always available. Also ..if you like , there is a conversion kit to convert to electric flush.

A new replacement K model is $1400. YIKES!

I just bough a new (old) boat , and this was sitting in the head compartment …never mounted or used. Just a bit dusty.

No box …but comes with owners manual.

Here is some info on the K model (same for EB)

Commercial Grade Model K-H Manual Deluxe Toilet Built for Heavy-Duty Use
Outstanding design and reliability have made the Groco Model K THE bronze toilet to own. Its large-bore, all bronze pump sits directly under the bowl eliminating the need to move waste into a separate chamber for discharging, thus creating a surprisingly small footprint. For installation above or below the waterline. Footpedalwater control allows the desired amount of flush water to be used and automatically shuts the water inlet off when the foot pedal is released. No valves to close or handwheels to turn.
• Household-sized bowl
• 3" piston pumping mechanism
• Adjustable flow up to 4 GPM
• All bronze pump
• Adapts to all treatment devices

Price $549. plus shipping.

2nd only to the Skipper, in manual toilets. In 20 years, Bluestocking's EB has required only 1 woodruff key replacement part.

The unit is in Southern California. May be pricey to ship to Austraila …but that is your call.

Zeehag, where u r these days?
I'll be returning to Acapulco to rescue my Albin, awaiting Yanmar parts here in the states. Sadly, I had to scrap my 47 Voayager we spoke about- too much structural damage after the fire!
