Re: Water lines
I had a 3607 and the heads did pull lake water. The thru-hull is right in front of the port engine. I added a device that would add a cleaner (like the blue 'mr toilet' tabs) in that feed to try and keep the smell down, because eventually the algae does start to accumulate in those lines. That worked OK but you always had to refill that system.
There is a lot of extra room under the dinette settee where the forward waste tank is. Enough that you could add a dedicated fresh water tank for the heads if you really wanted to. I had thought about that.
However, you also have some pretty good size fresh water tanks... 120 gallon IIRC. Are you really using that much to flush the heads? That must mean you also do a lot of pumpouts too, even though the waste tanks on that model are also much larger than similar boats.
If there's insufficient pressure, perhaps you need to troubleshoot that issue. Do you have plenty of pressure at all the faucets? Is there something restricting the lines going to the heads?

Re: Water lines
I agree, stick with the fresh water, we did that and it worked just fine....relatively quiet and odor free.

Re: Water lines
Your fresh water will have more pressure than the raw water. Boat toilets don't use pressure to flush. The water is used to flow the waste to the macerator, to be ground and pushed to the tank.
