Installing a composting toilet

We recently took out our standard marine toilet and reconfigured the platform in the head for a composting toilet. We are using an AirHead toilet.

The first few pictures show the carpentry involved, using starboard for the new platform. We still need to finish off the edges behind the toilet between the original platform and the new one. 
There are a few pictures with tape measures included to show dimensions on our boat. Not sure all heads in our LNVTs are the same size. The last three pictures show the clearance needed for the crank on the side of the toilet, the clamshell vent added on the outside of the cabin wall (there is a vent hose running up from the toilet inside the head to a vent, with a new opening cut out) and the capping off of the holding tank under the berth.
