Head
This is a picture of the old Wilcox-Crittenden Head Mate head.  It clearly shows the inlet and discharge hoses.  Off to the left of the picture is the fresh water hose between the deck fill and the fresh water tank, the smaller freshwater hose to the basin, and the wires to the right cabin speaker on the starboard bulkhead.  The head has been replaced with a new W-C Head Mate and the hoses have been replaced.
Head Discharge
This picture shows the holding tank discharge hose to the deck pump-out fitting.  Also discernable is the hose to the fresh water deck-fill fitting.  I need to clean up this mess!  It hasn't been cleaned since the new holding tank and deck pump-out fitting were installed.
Head 2
Another look at the head before it was replaced.  The gray tubing is the hose from the sink/basin that discharges into the head.  Obviously, the head cover needs to be up and placed behind the basin waste hose.
New Head
A look at the new W-C Headmate installed and filled with red, non-toxic antifreeze.
Head Pedestal
A look at the new toilet mounted on the head pedestal.  There are only three lag bolts holding the bowl onto the pedestal, the two forward that you can see here and one on the backside of the bowl -- very difficult to get to.
Holding Tank Hoses
This picture shows the new holding tank hoses and the Y-valve that allows me to switch between direct discharge and the holding tank. Notice the soft-wood plugs tied to all ball valves/thru hulls.  This arrangement is below the starboard settee.
Bottom of Head Basin
A bottom view of the head basin sink.  The discharge hose is clearly shown.  The small diameter hose is the fresh water supply to the sink.  the large dark hose  is the holding tank pump out hose.
Holding Tank - 9 gallon Todd
A view of the holding tank beneath the starboard settee.  The holding tank is a 9-gallon Todd.  The vent line is shown at the top of the tank and leads to a small thru-hull fitting at the transom.

Another view of the holding tank hose arrangement and the Y-valve.
Thru Hulls
This is a close-up of the thru-hull fittings and the ball-valves.

Another diagram of the packing gland, shaft, and engine arrangement for an inboard powered C27.
Burned Out Pump
A picture of a burned out freshwater pump that nearly caused a fire on board the boat.  Both freshwater pumps have been replaced with newer Jabsco pumps.
