I second the idea of flushing with fresh water. What really counts is the last flush before leaving the boat. It makes a big difference.
This applies (I hear) especially, if you sail in salt water, but even on a lake, the outboard water is not as clean as we would want to believe. So I use either water from the sink/shower head or simply some drinking water from a bottle. I know of some people who re-plumbed the water intake for the head to use the same through-hull as the sink drain. That way you can close the through-hull, fill the sink with water and pump it through the head.

Here is what I do. Rarely if ever do I have bad head odor Flush only with fresh water - I use the shower head from the sink to flush. Pump out regularly - I pump out after each weekend night away, and as frequently as possible on cruises. Flush thoroughly with fresh water each pump out. I pump lots of fresh water through the head as well as filling the tank via the deck fitting. Repeat until pump out "glass " shows clean water. -- Jonathan Indigo C&C 35III SOUTHPORT CT On Sep 2, 2014, at 22:11, Bev Parslow via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: Four years ago I replaced all the hoses for the 29-2. The boat is used by the family with three young children. The head and holding tank is smelling. What is the best way to get rid of this. I could replace the hoses etc. Any advice? _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album Email address: CnC-List@cnc-list.com To change your list preferences, including unsubscribing -- go bottom of page at: http://cnc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/cnc-list_cnc-list.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album Email address: CnC-List@cnc-list.com To change your list preferences, including unsubscribing -- go bottom of page at: http://cnc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/cnc-list_cnc-list.com
