This might sound like a dumb question..........but.............we are going out on Lake Martin down here in Bama to sleep overnight on the boat. It is going to be around 27 degrees. What does one put in the fresh water porta-pottie tank to keep things flowing! Not a problem with our heat going, but in the interim.........might be a problem. Is there something you can buy........?

Pee. They are made to be peed in.

Next question??

Sorry - but you walked right into that one. This is going to be a fun little thread.
 
Just use a little RV Antifreeze in the upper tank. If you have the blue stuff in the bottom it may get slushy but will still be OK to use.
The real problem in cold times is the COLD SEAT!
 
:lol: :lol: Mike you are killing us............THE FRESH WATER PART OF THE TANK. WE DONT PEE IN THE TOP TANK.............DO YOU?
As far as the whiskey..........that would be alcohol abuse! :shock:
Pat and Fred......we were thinking about that but didn't know if they had such a thing, we will have to check out the local RV place.
 
I understand that if you just sit on it all night long, you body heat will do the trick.

You can drink the whiskey to keep your enthusiasm flowing, so to speak.

Joe, there is a comic in every crowd............. :shock:
We have reading material, the latest Cabela's marine catologue.......so..............you might have something there!
:P :wink:
 
I would put several cups of the rV non toxic antifreeze in the portipotty upper water unit. You can still put in the usual chemicals. We used to snow camp in the RV--non heated holding tanks, and this worked fairly well. But in minus 14 sometimes the dump valves would freeze up--and one had to wait for warm weather to dump!.
 
Whoa, Bob! If I had to wait for warm weather to dump, here in Colorado this freezing winter, I'd long since have been hauled off to the I.C.U. :mrgreen:

Only at gatherings when the beer guys are there. Sometimes the bottom tank gets full. That's the real reason I bought the bigger boat: bigger tank.

Heck, I thought that you were suppose to pee in the top tank.....The cap on the upper tank is inscribed "#1" the lid on the larger tank is inscribed "#2".
 
I guess it's a perspective thing, we have been elated to have the temp rise to 27! The 40 degrees we have been experiencing these last couple days helps get rid of those 74 inches of snow we got this winter. By the way there will be all manner of things rise up as this melts! I'm thinking my dog will be to blame for most of this!

A lot of the above wisdom will in fact keep your stool free of ice bergs, but if 27 were all I was expecting, I would procrastinate! Yep, do nothing and as usual every thing will be fine! Unless you are absolutely still with no motion on the boat, it will take that water a LOOOOONG time to freeze at 27. Even if some ice forms it will be at the top of the tank and only a skim, easily broken up in the morning.

Now that was funny, I don't care who you are!
That is what Mike must have thought as well, when he so kindly tried to help us with our dilemma............ :crook

You are so right. Just to think 6 months ago we were hardy souls but since moving down here we have become soft. After our first 95 degree summer with 100 percent humidity 27 degrees looks mighty cold.
Rick did wear shorts hanging our Christmas lights this year, just to say he did. When it comes to Porta Potties, I panic!
 
Thomas E. Colvin, naval architect & yacht builder, refers to the #1 and #2 bucket as the "Thunder Mug".

On the other hand our grandsons would be in deep doo-doo (and loving it) with all this "Potty Talk".

Twenty seven degrees, T-shirt weather in northern Minnesota.
Fifteen below this morning, just walked a mile with my dog. C-Otter.

P.S.

It's a little hard to believe at first that the link above is for real, but (with only one t), it is.

Do you think offering one of these as an option on a C-Dory would be a great selling point with THE ADMIRAL?

Reminds me of the days when our kids were in diapers and I got the very logical common sense idea that the best solution would be to dip their behinds down into a bowling ball washing machine.

Sorry about the number 2 post!

Joe.
