Changing the base of the WC on an older SM

Hi All,
Some time back I wrote that the base of one of our WCs ( Jabsco 37255 )was starting to crack. Unfortunately, the replacement base ( Part no.37004-1000 ) has its anchoring holes in different places that the original. This is a problem when you can't access
the underneath of the fibreglass platform to which the base is bolted.
The same guy, Neil, as mentioned in my previous email, has a solution which involves drilling a hole wide enough to get the bolt through and then to fix the bolt in place and fill the hole. He will do the work this winter so I will report back on how it goes.
For those in this area, my experience of Neil ( who recently replaced the seals on the gearbox on the main and also stripped down and rebuilt the gearbox on the main outhaul ) is good. He works with FYS yacht services, owned by Christian Grunert, an Austrian,
in Porto Helli. They are full of work. See
