    Yesterday when we were out on the boat. My wife went to use the toilet and noticed that there was a lot of water around the base. Is there a seal kit available, or should I look at replacing the whole thing??

    Find out what's leaking 1st.

    Is it fresh water from the fresh water valve?

    Is your system not holding vacuum?

    Is water leaking from the bowl?

    The water seems to be all around the base of the toilet. I just bought the boat recently, so I am learning as I go. She didn't use the toilet, but noticed the water around the base. She cleaned it up, but it still kept leaking

    Is it a Vacuflush? If so there is a valve on the freshwater inlet that let's water fill the bowl when you lift up on the flush pedal. I had mine leak there once. Take the cover off the base of the toilet and it should become apparent where it is leaking.

    If it is that valve I see them on line for around $20-30 and it's an easy fix.

    Good luck.

    Same here. Found water on the floor years ago. Take off cover and it was the flush valve leaking. Easy swap out to fix
