Jim and all,
if that involves any maceration, please save yourself a lot of trouble and
forget it.

I once was ferrying a Swan 44 from Newport Beach to Santa Barbara and the
macerator on board got jammed up by my wife, who used too much toilet paper.
After spending several hours with my arm submerged in a very messy full
bowl, we gave up.
The new owner, came on board that night, removed the head and accidentally"
dropped the head overboard while they were on their first sail.
Not the recommended way to dispose of a head, but that one was a sure loser,
as you are always going to get someone who doesn't think about what happens
when you put too much down an electric macerator head at one time.

if the one you are thinking using isn't a macerator, what happens when the
power fails or the motor burns out ???

If it the kind of head that incinerates the muck, suggest that you do an
extremely careful check as to oders when the incineration occurs. Had a
friend who used one in a motorhome and he got banned from one RV Park.

Hope this is of use to you.

Landlocked in Sedona, AZ !!

  I'm considering replacement of the current toilet with a PAR electric
  toilet. Can anyone contribute comment on the merits (or not) of this
  toilet?

  Thanks,
