I am restoring Commander hull 131. Redecked hte bow and gelcoated the enterior. I just pulled out the head it appears to be the orginal one. Is there any kit I can purchase to rebuild it? Any other recommendations/
Thanks
Jake

The first step is to determine the brand... Wilcox Crittenden (Headmate model is likely the Pearson OEM) or Groco, etc. Rebuild kits are available from defender; westmarine and other suppliers. Overhaul is an easy rainy day task.
Goodluck

here's a link to some potential kits...

Just curious. Ariel 414 has a porta-potti in the v-berth. Probably a silly question and answered elsewhere, but what was the original setup?

A marine head in the same location.
Jake... do you have a holding tank and associated plumbing installed?
If so, a WC Head Mate is another option. $150 at West Marine (they go on sale from time to time)

Thankis. I assume that the make and model of the head will be on it somewhere???
Maybe you could post a picture of it?
Faith has the original WC head. I believe it is the 'Shipmate' model.
Works great.
the only marks on mine were the company logo. The shape of the pump section is unique to each model.
here is the link to the OEM parts list:
