Replacement head needed, any suggestions? Tranny removal?

We are going to start staying on the boat more, in preparation in living aboard during the summer. Need to change out at least the forward head for now. I don't want vacumn. Want a elecric with maserator. The ones I have looked at online all seem to need a remote pump for some reason. Any of my prior boats didn't need one. I want one that will be rawwater and fresh water intake. I don't want the small low bowl either. Has anyone done this and what did you get?
Problem 2 is the tranny has to come out. Any hints or suggestions on removal? Have shaft between tranny and V Drive. Looks like pull shaft pull back on tranny and remove? Of course support rear on engine. I already have another tranny ready to go in.

I can give you info on a marine throne. I purchased a Marine Elegance on advice from this site. I have a fresh water option with a Smart Control Flush. Normal flush, water saver, water only, empty only. I ordered from Defender in Ct. I live in NY so it arrived the next day in two pieces, china bowl. A phone call to defender, and a new toilet was delivered the next day, and they arrainged p/u of broken one.
When they say, keep the Admiral happy, and your life will be good. They were right. Quiet flush, easy installation. Has a built in macerator, which allows you to use a 1 inch discharge hose or the old type inch and a half size. I do not have any regrets on this purchase. Well worth the 650.00.
They recommended 6ga wire to the control box. Upgraded to the best hoses so I don't have to worry about odor. Also regular height with a straight back.
Good luck

I've had one of these in my boat for the last 4 years. Looks and functions great and have had no problems with it.
