Ok, folks, in an effort to keep the woman on board happy, has anyone improvised and located a portable porta potty onboard their bowrider that has some sense of privacy? I've got a '05 H210, that doesn't have a head closet like the 240 does, so wondering if anyone placed it on the floor in the bow (or other areas) and rigged up some kind of curtain thing like I've seen for pontoon boats? This early in the season, with the water temperture at 64 degrees, the woman complain when they have to go down the ladder waist deep to do a number 1. Thanks all, I know someone will have an idea (and hopefully a picture).

I do like my father did when we lived in Brooklyn NY and used to take a long ride on Adirondack Trailways to a farm in Delhi NY for summer vacations...'do your business now because this driver's not stopping' lol....so my guests do their business before getting on the boat. Or else I'll drive them to a nearby waterfront town and drop them off a the town dock and they can go to a restaurant.

RE:Porta Potty.

Google :- Portable change rooms for boats, and there's plenty there that fold away in a bag (very small) and set up in a few seconds. Prices from $40 upwards.

Cheers

The ski locker can be a place to put the porta-potty. Just need to buy or improvise the privacy curtain if desired.

Just to clarify, all piss before getting on board, but if we're out there on the hook for 4-5 hours, and folks are drinking, then eventually you'll have to piss. I like storing it in the floor hold idea, but still need to figure out how to shield the area.

I'm sure he was aware of this option when he wrote the original post...

Something like this could sit over or in your ski-locker.

Thank you thank you for the great chuckle at work today.. much needed.

How far are you from state parks or boat launches where you boat? Around here they have porta-potties at almost all boat launches, even small ponds. Not sure if that's just a CT thing.

:lol:

When I was a kid we had a porta potty and a piss bucket(bucket on a rope) on board. You use the bucket, toss it overboard to rinse and use the rope to retrieve it.

The captain(dad) had one rule for the porta potty: "If you use it, you empty and clean it when we get back to the dock". Most got in the water or used the piss bucket. :mrgreen:
