Hi Oliver, unfortunately I've only just seen your post. I'll have a look at what photos I have and then send them to you.

The parts are glued together, you can't get them apart on site. Drilling out the through-hull and then removing it as a block works, I did that. But TruDesign parts don't fit, nor are the necessary parts available in plastic to recreate this work of art. We now only have a simple seacock from Trudesign, the toilet drains directly into the waste tank. The hose goes from the T-piece drain to the aforementioned seacock. What you could do is dismantle the block on the workbench and reinstall it with a new outlet and seacocks. But this is a real puzzle, and again requires Pantera or similar for gluing.

One more thing: we have an extra battery for the winch at the very front, charged by a 10 qmm cable from the consumer battery via a B2B charger also installed at the front. It can also work with the consumer battery, but then you have to lay 35-50 qmm cable to the front. This is not so easy, and not a great advantage in terms of cost.

Hello Oliver, our plotter is installed below deck near the chart table. As we have a C35 with a tiller, it doesn't fit anywhere in the cockpit. We have a holder for a tablet under the sprayhood and the windlass can be easily installed in the compartment above the foot of the forward berth. Motor below deck, head above deck and arranged so that the chain falls through a tube into the anchor locker. This works well and the winch motor/relay cannot get wet. Make sure that the winch is installed slightly off-centre so that the chain follows the inclined anchor fitting and runs well clear of the forestay pütting. Regards, Markus
