I have a C&C 36. I had a similar issue when I purchased my boat. I
took up all of the floor boards and while they were out carefully sanded
them and refinished them. I cleaned the bilge vigorously and all of the
water lines running under the floor boards. I filled the water tanks
and found the leaks. Once they were found, I fixed them. The problem
was solved and I haven't had an issue since.
Taking all of the floor boards up and out was a pain, but worth it
because I scrub the entire bilge area and it needed to be scrubbed.
Dawn dish soap comes in handy there. This year I decided to once again
torque the keel bolts to specification. It was another opportunity to
take up the floor boards and scrub the entire bilge before torquing the
keel bolts. Now I have the keel bolts torques to specs and a clean
bilge too.
I try to throw a little dawn or lemon juice into the bilge area each
year to clean it without having to take up the floor boards. It does
help keep things fresher.
