I had to decide how to install my toilet. Looking forwards
or looking backwards.
All my friends, including fellow 580 builder Fabian (driftingdonkey.ch), were in favour of ‘facing backwards’. Even all the 580s that were already finished with a toilet (most don’t have one) had their toilet installed this way.
So I’m installing mine facing forwards.
It makes sense to me: closer to the centre of rotation of the boat and more headroom. And I can lean back against the bulkhead.
