Sealand toilet replacement question November 17, 2010, 12:35:44 pm Yahoo Message Number: 118305RE: 2000 26.5' MBHi All, I want to replace my Sealand 511 toilet with a Thetford Aqua Magic Style II. I picked the Style II because its the lowest price full size toilet seat (I'm a big guy). I am open to other suggestions on the Thetford. I came to the conclusion of replacement instead of repair after reading a lot of horror stories about the Sealand toilet and its constant problems. I do have 2 CONFIRMED separate leaks, one at the floor flange and the other from the bowl seal area. I believe the floor flange leak was probably caused by the flange nuts not being tight enough. They were barely finger tight. I have removed the old Sealand toilet and I am wondering what to do next. My question is regarding the 4 bolt pattern of the Sealand toilet floor flange versus the 2 bolt pattern of the Thetford. The 4 bolt pattern is turned so that the 2 bolt pattern won't position the Thetford in a forward facing position. The floor flange screw heads are rusted and will not turn. Is there a conversion flange (not likely) or are there any simple alternatives to what I do next? ? ? ?Thanks, Bob K. Owner since Aug 2010

I would call Thetford Corporation Customer Service Department 1-800-543-1219 and ask how that works.__

You can replace this with a Bravura which has the 4 bolt pattern. Thank youConsumer Service Thetford Corp/Norcold Inc" Sadly this is not the answer I was looking for so I am back to my original question, is there a simple way to replace the Sealand 511 with the Thetford Aqua Magic Style II??? The Thetford Aqua Magic Style II is china and has a larger seat (I'm still a big guy).See original email below for more details.Thanks, Bob K. Owner since Aug 2010 Lurking

That's what I did [hated the old one] and now I've got plenty of room for my oversize backside.Steve S. Lazy Bones & Jiggs
