Removing the Head

Modified By Eric on 9/14/2008 1:50:32 PM)

Hi everyone - I am a new cal 20 owner. Currently I have it in Marina Del Rey, and plan to sail to Catalina monthly (for work.) One issue I am hoping someone might be able to help with is the head. The head on my 1965 Cal 20 doesnt seem to have a holding tank or a c-cock. To moor / Anchor in Avalon I cant have a head that goes to the ocean. I dont plan to use the head as it stands, but if the harbor master drop a dye tab in and it comes out the bottom I will be banned for a year.

So here is my question. How do I remove the head that is in there without removing the boat from the water? I will probably just replace with a porto potty....but need to remove and seal the current one first.

Any help is appreciated.

Re: Removing the Head

The previous owners of my boat (a friend of mine) removed the boat from the water to remove the head. Once they removed the head they sealed up the thru-hauls from the outside to ensure no leaks. I wasn't around the day they did it so I'm not too sure what is involved completely. There is a pipe still sticking up on the port side that I need to trim down to get a porto potty in that location but I plan on doing that when the boat is dry docks in November. I'll post some pics of what I currently have so you can at least see what is underneath of your existing head.
