Wow.
And here I thought it was one of my original ideas. I've been doing
this since 1979 (on various boats) in order to eliminate a
through-hull opening. The minimized stink was an unintended benefit.

This works really well on Cat's Paw. I learned about it on this
list a year or so ago and I implemented it last winter. Someone
said the idea originated with the lady who has published extensively
about marine toilets (name eludes me) - Danny - you talked to her by
telephone a few months ago - right?
Flushing the bowl with fresh water at the end of the day has made a
big difference in smell. It also has made winterizing the toilet
and holding tank easier - just fill the basin with antifreeze and
pump it into the toilet and then into the previously emptied holding tank.
I would not have gone so far as "sweet" though!
