Stus-List Smelly head Update 

First off thanks to all that replied. the comments and advice were of 
assistance. Here is what I found out




1) There was old water in the fresh water tanks. yes i should have checked that 
first...Smelled just like sewer and I suspect that the stagnant hot water 
heater water was contributing to the smell under the vanity in the head




2) I discovered a loose fitting inspection port cap on top of the holding tank. 
This port is not visually accessible unless you remove the sink. I found it 
because when filling the tank with super chlorinated water I over filled it 
which caused some water to
 run down along the front of the tank. i was concerned that i had a crack in 
the tank. When i stuck my hand as far as i could from behind head, through back 
of hosing i touched the loose fitting port cap on the top of the tank. This is 
where the source of overflow
 water must have come from and in turn may have been source of odors as well.




So two culprits:

1) stagnant fresh water - emptied and cleaned tanks

2) loose fitting inspection port cap.- rinsed chlorinated, repeat, tighten 
inspection cap




learning lots about our new boat 🙂 now on to change out secondary fuel filter




Cheers,




blair

If you are looking for a chemical solution to fight odours, there is a product 
called “PureAyre” that can help.
 It kills smells, but you have to stop the leaks etc. or it won’t help you much.

The worst smell is when the boat is sitting and all the algae in the *intake 
line* rots. Then the first time you pump it the smell could knock a buzzard off 
a septic tank truck.


One stopgap for smelly hoses is to get tea tree oil and spray the hoses down 
with it. It does a decent job killing organic odors. If you want to be 
scientific, bubbling oxygen through the holding tank would be a help too. 
Anaerobic
 bacteria have an output of hydrogen sulfide and aerobic bacteria do not.
