Looking at purchasing a new-to-us boat in the 2000-2003 range - I guess there's no harm in telling it's a Regal. They are utilizing a Jabsco electric conversion style head. I don't know if I'm calling it the right thing, so let me try to explain. It appears to be standard factory installation for that particular boat because we've looked at several and they're all the same. It's an electric head, and when looking at Jabsco's website, it matches what they call their electric conversion kit. And, the head itself appears to be exactly like our current manual pump head, with the electric portion replacing the manual pump.
Ok, my questions...why do you think they used this particular style? I ask this because I haven't seen this style on anything else we've looked at. Was it a cost saving/ease of construction thing (which would seem odd to me for a Regal(?)? Are they good systems? If bad, are they bad enough to disuade one from purchasing a particular boat? How do they compare to the apparently more widely used vacuflush? Anything else? I always thought when I upgraded boats I'd finally get my vacuflush...now this happens!!
I don't know much about this particular topic so any info is appreciated!
