We lived aboard our yacht for 20 years with a hand pumped Lavac and found it absolutely the BEST, far better than other heads on friends' boats. It was virtually unplugable. We only replaced the seals once in all that time. We have since sold that yacht and bought another and are putting another Lavac in but this time it will have an electric motor. Go for it and then you don't have to think about it!!
