I have a Jabsco manual marine toilet model 29120 that has a seacock for fresh water and a holding tank. Would I winterize it the same way as in the Sticky topic "Winterizing a Raritan PHII or PHEII toilet"? It looks like if I follow steps 2 and 3 I should be OK.
 
I have a 1987 Jabsco electric toilet that I have winterized the same way for 10 years with no problems.
I pump out the holding tank then add about 1 gal. of pink antifreeze.
2. I remove the inlet water hose from the base of the toilet.
3. I reattach a 2' long hose to the nipple on the base of the toilet where the hose was removed.
4 I hold the hose up with a funnel in the end and pour about 1/2 gal of pink antifreeze as I run the toilet. This pumps the fluid through the toilet and into the holding tank.
I have found it is easier to do this procedure after the boat is hauled as the inlet hose is below the water line.
Hope this helps.
 
Yes Ken, following steps 2 and 3 for the PHII will also apply to your Jabsco manual toilet.
