The crew renovates the head on their boat, Uma, focusing on plumbing, wall finishes, and cabinetry. To meet legal requirements for a holding tank, they construct a DIY unit using a two-foot length of 4-inch PVC pipe.0:27 They install a Whale 1 1/8-inch check valve inside a modified P-trap to create an anti-siphon vented loop for the toilet, which sits below the waterline.2:31 The project includes replacing a seized gate valve with a standard lever seacock and re-bedding the through-hull fitting.4:24 For interior finishes, they apply peel-and-stick stone and vinyl tiles to the head walls using 3M adhesive foam.8:19 The vanity top is fabricated from Corian, requiring multiple attempts and extensive sanding from 80 to 1500 grit to achieve a seamless finish.12:03 Finally, they install a fold-out cabinet door using a custom PVC bracket system that allows for easy removal without dismantling the surrounding structure.14:15
