Hey Charlie, may I borrow your credit card? I just maxed mine out with a full shopping cart and there is soooo much more to purchase on that site!  On second thought, I guess it's the clothing not the models in the cart.....  so, i'll just unload the carts.

Heck, if someone wants privacy when using the porta potty, just tell the person to close his/her eyes.  |

My wife and I have no problem using the porta potty on long cruises on our 16 Cruiser. A couple of times I have taken friends for short day trips and told them to use the facilities before departure. Has anyone tried some sort of arrangement for privacy when using the porta potty? |
Does the 16 have room in the v-birth for a Porta Potty? If it does than you can have a curtain places over the entrance so passengers can do their thing in privacy. Or, everyone can leave the cabin and stand in the cockpit and look aft....yea that will make the bowls gurgle.
We all use a 5 gal bucket during the day unless someone needs to do the do-do than its into the cabin for them or out comes the Porta potty and everyone into the cabin. It’s really not a big deal for use because we are all family.
“Hay, open up the windows and the forward hatch and turn on the fans! Man who the heck died in there.”
You got to love family!

Sorry, my wife lost our credit card about three weeks ago. I haven't reported it however since the woman (bless her) whoever she is, is charging less than my wife used to...

Relax, Charlie! If you got ahold of one of those gals on the site, she', and you'd max you out on more than your credit card!

I have a Toilet extension seat I had to get when my hip socket was replaced. It has arm rests, a back rest and it fits right into a 5 gallon bucket.  As far as privacy....I'd suggest a full length poncho.

Actually, there is a toilet seat made to fit on a 5-gallon bucket. Hardee's may want to try that....
As for Porta Potty Privacy - it might be simpler to get one of the black-out eye shades that day sleepers sometimes use. ...at least the Porta Potty user wouldn't see anyone looking. 
Best,

As I read that I immediately envisioned everyone else on the boat wearing the shades... until I read the rest of the sentence Even on other, bigger boats (with a full, private head) it's been common to just ask anyone else below to step out into the cockpit for a short while, when a bit more privacy is desired (and there is always turning up the stereo too). When on Powell last year - on a C-dory like boat - we put the PP in the cockpit overnight which was great. The view rivaled that of the best-sited outhouses!  |

When 'ya gotta go, 'ya gotta go.
That does a lot for eradicating privacy issues.

Aye.

Yeah, this is definitely a delicate topic but since it was already posted I'll jump in!
My question is to the 19: Can you sit in the v berth and use the porta potty with the curtain closed? Like the 22?
I'm gonna be spoiled having a v berth after coming from a 16 Angler. Lol. |

We use the bucket with seat and top arrangement. Works great, but then again it is still legal to dump over the side in Canada, in tidal waters off shore. We carry the porta-potti as well, keeps us legal in US waters when a holding tank is required. We have only used it once in 4 years.
As for privacy. We are a married couple.......seen it all, done it all. So privacy is not an issue. If we had guests who really, really needed to go. We would put up the aft cabin curtains and go stand in the cockpit so as to give them some privacy.
These are little boats, people should remember that mod-cons are basic, just like camping.

The porta potty setup in the 19 is the same as the 22. The berth curtain can be closed while a person is on the potti inside. No standing of course. Our little one uses it sometimes when she is in a shy mood. We do move it out to the cockpit overnight.

I think that the most elegant solution has already been discussed. I just added pictures of mine (an enclosed head on my CD 16) with some minor technical improvements. This is why there is no rear view mirror at my helm.
