We have been wanting to get a new seat for quite some time. In Mexico, or at least in
Mazatlán and in the Puerto Vallarta area, they seem to only sell seats with a space in the front. We wanted the whole seat. Also, seats are not popular there as they consider them un-sanitary. The same in Europe. Also the water is hard and the chemicals they use to clean the bowl destroy the plastic seats. Most gringo tourist areas\Marinas have seats and we grew up with them so we are keeping ours. Also I suppose in the tropics it is not a hardship to sit on cool porcilian bowl😰 This new Bemis seat was purchased from Home Depot 1002082996. Bemis #7M202LOW 000.
November 2017 - Tied up in Marina Mazatlán, Mexico
We are currently house sitting in University Heights, San Diego CA
With old seat. Our toilet has a round bowl.
We love the slow close as we keep our lid closed. So after using the seat you simply flip the top and walk away and it quietly closes nicely. Our current one we have had for some years and it still closes nicely. Also if you do leave it up on a passage it does not slam shut if you tack etc. it just slowly and quietly closes. Our new Bemis seat is nicer than the current one but essentially the same.Our old electric tooth brush Oral-B had a blue led charging light that was on all the time and it served as a night light. Our new Oral-B Pro 3000 does not have a light like that, it only shines when it is charging which is not that often. Sooo a night light like the one shown will work great for us as the toilet is behind our head door and the light will not be seen unless you actually go into the head and close the door to use the toilet.
And yet more parts checked off the US buy list for the next cruising season on s\v Elegant'sea!
Update:
December 2017 - Tied up in the El Cid Marina Mazatlán, Mexico
We have installed the seat and light and it has been working as advertised. Very comfy and smooth places for cleaning and the light removes for cleaning easily also. The light is just right bright-wise and will work especially good on overnight passages etc. All good.
