Head line news: New model Marine Elegance toilet

Rariton Toilet

Feb 10, 2022

New for 2022, Raritan Engineering has introduced a Comfort Height Elongated Bowl version of its Marine Elegance marine electric toilet . Retaining all the features and modern styling of the original model, it now adds a level of comfort and powerful flushing typically associated with residential toilets.

The Marine Elegance Comfort Height Elongated Bowl is made from gleaming and easy-to-clean white vitreous china. Hidden hardware preserves its clean, modern appearance.

The 14-1/2″ W x 21-5/8″ L seat with soft-close lid is a comfortable 16-1/2″ off the floor. This not only delivers comfort, but makes it easier to get on and off, and steady oneself while the boat is moving.

Three plumbing configurations are available with the toilet. The Remote Pump model allows the user to draw in outside water for flushing. With the Pressurized Water Model, the Marine Elegance Comfort Height Elongated Bowl toilet uses water with a minimum pressure/flow of 5 gpm and a maximum pressure of 150 psi. The SeaFresh option allows users to change between onboard freshwater or outside raw water with the flip of a switch.

Exceptionally quiet at a mere 63dB, a powerful, yet low-power internal shredder with stainless steel blades virtually eliminates clogging.

There are four flush options. With the Smart Handle, a residential-style side lever provides timed operation and independent control of water and discharge by pushing or pulling. The wall-mounted Smart Toilet Control is fully programmable to optimize water use; adding the Wireless Remote Bluetooth Control eliminates wiring through bulkheads and cabinetry, plus programming can be done up to 50′ away. Raritan’s Multifunction Flush Panel enables momentary operation of fill, flush and discharge.

Available in 12V, 24V and 120/240V AC, the toilet is straightforward to install. The device has a flat back and a 10-1/4″ W x 16-1/2″ D footprint, and an overall size of 21-5/8″ L x 14-1/2″ W x 18-1/2″ H. Raritan’s Marine Elegance Comfort Height Elongated Bowl toilet has an MSRP of US$1,595.

Neptunus 650F Review

Neptunus 650F 400

By Andy Adams

Over the years Canadian Yachting has had the pleasure of doing several boat review articles on new Neptunus models and we are familiar with the qualities that Neptunus is famous for. They have all been exceptional yachts, but this is the one I would most want to own myself. It’s a personal choice and a matter of taste as to whether you would prefer to have a sedan express model or a flybridge but in my opinion, the flybridge layout offers some wonderful attributes.

We met with Neptunus Managing Director Jan Willem De Jong this past fall to take the new Neptunus 650F out in Lake Ontario.

The Other Virgin Islands

Sunset off St John

By Mark Stevens

I was first seduced by the United States Virgin Islands during a ferry ride from St. Thomas to Tortola to begin one of our earliest British Virgin Islands charters nearly twenty years ago.

A perfect sunset off St. John with St. Thomas views for backdrop.

Clearing Pillsbury Sound, surrounded by voluptuous emerald mountains as the ferry sliced through royal blue waters, I was struck by the unspoiled ambiance of St. John, the island gliding past our starboard beam and the irresistible charm of a village called Cruz Bay visible from our quarter stern.
