Porta Potty Tie Down

From Misc Boat Stuff


After reading Fatal Storm: The Inside Story of the Tragic Sydney-Hobart Race I was thinking about all of the things in the cabin that might come loose in a knock-down or roll. I realized there was nothing stopping the porta potty from making a nasty mess in a knock-down or roll situation. I put four stainless steel eye screws into the bunk supports, then cut down a bungee cord net designed for the cargo rack on a 4-wheeler to fit over the top of the porta potty.

To use the potty, the hooks in the front are hooked onto the companion way and the potty is slid forward for use, then pushed back and re-secured. It fits snugly in place and should have no trouble holding the weight of the potty in roll over.
