Hi Folks, is it possible to do this conversion? If so, what is needed? Seems the intake hose would be the same size, but the outlet to the Jabsco is likely 3/4" due it is macerating from the toilet whereas the Groco is passing un-macerated waste from the toilet to the tank via a larger hose diameter. Forget the size....
Thinking would just need to use a reducing adapter to the Jabsco toilet and install the electric flush control?
 
An adapter should work, but have you thought about replacing the entire outlet hose, and the fitting on the tank? Those hoses don’t last forever, so now might be a good time to do it?
 
Replacing the hose is something I will look into once I can get my boat back from the canvas shop. Just wondering if anyone has done this and also if this is a smart move? Is the Jabsco quiet flush E2 reliable? I have to rebuild my HF pump every couple of years, so not finding it very reliable at this point.
 
With pressure from my all female crew (wife and two daughters) I reluctantly switched from a Jabsco to Raritan Elegance this summer. The conversion was straight forward and at the end I have no regrets.

I heard good things about the Jabsco Quiet flush. If you don't already use on-board fresh water (from potable water tank), you will be pleasantly surprised. River/lake/sea water has organic material which have their own source of odors.

It shouldn't be too difficult, good luck!
 
I replaced my old vacuflush two years ago, went with the Rartian Marine Elegance, which seemed to be the most popular. Haven’t had to do any maintenance on it yet.

The install was easy, biggest surprise was that I had to run heavy ( expensive) wire, 6 awg I believe. spent over $100 on wire.

I am not a big fan of vacuflush, they seem cool but way too many moving parts. Plus I don't think they are all that quiet.
 
It was sort of cool the way it sounded like an airplane toilet when flushed - but it never really worked. way too complicated, and parts were insanely expensive. I don’t know why they have such a huge fan base, I was glad to drag them to the dumpster.
