Head upgrade to Groco K-H

[jhrinne]

Anyone have experience with upgrading to the Groco K-H head? Does it fit C34? Service acceptable?

Why spend so much money?

After 12 years of living aboard, we have been extremely happy with the Raritan PH-II which is $300 less. Given the space in the C34, I believe it should fit. Since we don't have our boat yet, I can't say for sure.

As far as weekend vacation use, I might be tempted to go with the Jabsco Manual head.

We have used the Wilcox-Crittenden head-mate and found it becomes very hard to pump after awile, requiring the use of lubricants. I would guess the Groco HF would suffer the same fate.
