BUY, SELL AND TRADE TRAWLERS AND TRAWLERING GEAR
View all threadsI am selling a Headhunter head which we just removed from the boat.
Nothing at all wrong with it, but after rearranging our waste tanks as
part of a larger renovation, it turned out to be the wrong head for the
application.
Details on this model can be found on Headhunter's web site, here:
http://www.headhunterinc.com/products/Toilets/neoclassic.html
To make this toilet work, you will need either a dedicated pump (for raw
or fresh water) from Headhunter (or compatible model), or a Headhunter
"adder" kit, which is basically just a solenoid valve that you connect
to your boat's existing fresh water system. This latter method works
best if you have a high-volume water system aboard (it worked fine on
our Groco Paragon).
You will also need a seat, which Headhunter will be happy to sell you
but I think household "elongated" models will fit. Depending on how
your plumbing is arranged, you might need to add a 1-1/2" check valve to
the discharge line (as we did). You will need four lag bolts or
through-bolts to attach it to the sole; I recommend nylon washers
between the bolt and the china (the original mounting hardware was not
salvageable).
These heads, new, sell for over $1,300. That's just as I am selling it
-- at that price, new, you'd still need to order the seat and adder kit
separately. I'd like to get $200 for it, but I will entertain all
offers. It is vitreous china, so I will not ship it for fear it will be
damaged in transit. I am currently in Deltaville, VA for another few
days, and heading north from here, and would be willing to keep it
aboard for a short while if you are on our route. Alternatively, you
can contract with someone from U-Ship or similar to pick it up -- I've
boxed it up in the box from its replacement.
I completely washed and scrubbed this after removal and it's in clean
condition. There are no chips or damage of any kind. The design of
this model and the way it was installed on the boat involved PVC hard
pipe which I had to cut, so the one very slightly dirty job for the
buyer will be to cement on a new fitting, either a barb to go directly
to 1-1/2" hose, or a threaded fitting to attach a check valve, depending
on your installation. While the china parts of the fixture are now very
clean, it's simply impossible to get the internal plumbing whistle-clean
inside. Whichever type of fitting you require, you'll need it to have a
female "slip" end for the PVC pipe.
There are no seals, flaps, valves, or any other moving parts other than
the aforementioned fresh water solenoid (or dedicated pump) in a
Headhunter head.
