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 org

I went as far as putting in a y selector on the intake hose for the head and
plumbing it the to fresh water tank with a back flow preventer so that the head
flushed with fresh water. That is easier than using the sprayer for flushing.
There is a little more resistance when in wet flush mode but
The Jabsco head has a small spring in the wet/dry lever mechanism. If it’s
weak, you may experience resistance when pumping.
Like another lister said, replace the ENTIRE pump assembly. It’s $92 on Amazon.
You’ll be happy. It’s a 20 minute job.

Replaced smelly hoses with the spiral pvc type, this lasted 2 yrs before they
were permeated again. Replaced with the spendy Italian rubber ones this
season. Check by smelling the hose itself.
Backflow issue is almost certainly the joker valve. Best is annual replacement

Blair, one thing worth mentioning is tank construction, some boats of that
vintage including ours came with an aluminum holding tank. The PO used a
chlorine odour product and the tank disintegrated along the bottom edge. If

There is a lady named "Peggy Hall" that is active on one of the online
boating forums. She is nicknamed the "Head Mistress" and has written a book
about marine heads and head odors.
One of her tips is to use a cloth dipped in hot water. Touch it against the

Hi Blair,
I have a number of thoughts:
1). The backflow into the head is likely caused not so much by the joker valve
as the flapper valve at the bottom of the pump itself where it is screwed to
the pipe leading to the bowl. You can take it apart and clean it manually (4
screws) but realisti
Hi Blair,
Yes replacing hoses may be required, and WM will push you hose right away!.
First I’d go to the pump-out on a weekday, suck everything you can, fill and do
it again. If nobody is waiting maybe even a third time if you are new to the
boat. Pour a couple gal. of water or run the hose
I'd suggest Peggy Hall's book on head odors. Still in print, I think. I
agree with previous comment that stagnant seawater used for flushing can
create an incredible foul odor. Flush some fresh water through the head
into the tank. There is a simple test for condition of hoses. Covered in

Our 35-2 is similar, even with new hoses and a clean tank. Much of the
smell is from organisms in salt water decomposing, as it occurs even when
the holding tank is empty. I've been told that adding over sized venting
for the holding tank will help, to reduce the anaerobic bacteria which is
causing
Even the good read expensive hose smells bad after a while. If yours is
still original it's probably due to be replaced. Possibly the tank as well.
I've heard it is better to use fresh water from the head faucet to flush

I have an identical C&C 29 mk 2 that I purchased in 2012.
I replaced the head the first year as it was in very bad condition.
Last year, I replaced all the hoses between the head and the tank and

This reduced the smell but did not eliminate it.

Hi Bev,
A couple of things from my experience of a smelly tank after launch this
year:
- If the holding tank is smelling, make sure your holding tank vent is
working. Anaerobic bacteria cause the particularly noxious smells; they
are replaced with aerobic, less smelly, bacteria if there is suffic
