I'm a little surprised that in 11 pages no one has mentioned using the shower as a urinal. Talking of which that was the only time I remember getting in trouble at that other place

Talking of which that was the only time I remember getting in trouble at that other place Pissing in the shower is equally as uncouth as using the sink as a loo. although less chance of causing damage or injury if being pissed in by the missus!!!😉

Ah well the missus can pee in the cassette, seeing as she's the 1 who empties it. I just dont have the stomach for that kind of thing. When my kids were babies a bucket was needed at nappy changing time, & still they sometimes end up covered in vomit! & at least with the shower, 2 of us showering each day, & it can be 'flushed', it stays pretty clean. Plus it's 1 of those hip bath type showers

I would imagine the sound of someone pissing over the side into one of those hip baths would be akin to the sound of a Jamaican tin drum band at full chat.... Don't think it's unite what the missus wants to listen to whilst waiting for her hubby to join her in bed! Could also cause extreme smelly feet if ripple forget to swill with the shower!!😷

My shower pump doesn't remove every last drop of water from the sump so the thought of some stale piss sitting around under my shower tray doesn't appeal.

I have a composting loo and a urinal on Hawkeye. Both of them built late last year by Peter, just before he died. Both work exceedingly well. I am too old and feeble to be carting cassettes about and the thought of the contents of a shit tank sloshing about under the bed is not appealing at all.

Although she might wonder why I'm having a really quick shower in the middle of the night

As I've said before, for middle-of-night-calls, funnel and empty whisky bottle. Leave bottle at a bus stop of your choice for the inquisitive.

I'm gonna awake another old one. Apologies if this was covered and I missed it, but it is quite important.
Urinals on a boat are a terrible idea, environmentally speaking. The nitrates in urine are poisonous in watercourses. Urine should be emptied (directly or indirectly) onto dry land where it can soak in to the ground, here it will act as a fertiliser for flora.
Net result: if taking a pee on the towpath, do so on the side furthest from the water, better still, go the other side of the hedge. If keeping wee in a milk bottle, empty into hedgerow, not the cut. And do not install a urinal in a narrowboat.
NB: The odd wee while showering is probably acceptable.

Some tosser on the NUG did a series of ridiculous calculations to justify the environmental argument against pissing in the cut.. If I remember rightly if everyone on the 30000 odd boaters pissed in the cut daily, the amount of piss wouldn't even fill a single very small lock pound!!
(Good to see this thread back up there BTW)

If one person does it it dosent make much difference, but if every boat was fitted with an overboard urinal then its a different matter.

everyone should stand up on the stern and piss into the wind.
most of the piss will end up on your trousers and not in the cut.
............... what happens to it after your trousers dry off is a different debate, of course.

I suppose we could collect it (as they used to on street corners) and re-introduce the alum industry to yorkshire
