Agree with Bill. Keeping the bilge dry is the best way to avoid "boat smell"
and after 22 years owning my 34R, I found the easiest. laziest way to do that

Loose wire or bad terminal?
My Universal M4-30 has an electric fuel booster pump. A dirty ground
connection caused a problem called; speed up and die, or lack of fuel. Ours
