Have you cleaned your sump. Water from AC and grey water from shower can stink up the place especially in warm months ahead.:troll:

Here are a few easy trys. Try some charcoal briquets in a plastic container. They mmight absorb the smell. Also lay a rag on top of the hoses to the holding tank. Might need to replace them if the rags smell after being on them for a few days. Or try vacumning the bilge of any water, wipe down with any of the citrus cleaners, orange clean etc. No gaurantees, but easy and inexpensive tries to fix the problem.

Mine does too... I replaced all the hoses except the pump out hose, this one has proven to be a challenge... when I access my starboard motor all under cab stinks from remaining hose. Yuk... The hoses stank badly... once they were on the deck , was very apperent this is foul odor. many have told me, a bacteria grow inside raw intake side of head. some have swiched to fresh water head and have had success with odor problem...

Try addind holding tank chemicals from Marine store, RV Store. Walmart.

Dump/Empty holding tank Add chemical to head and flush into holding tank
smell WILL go away in a few hours. Repeat every time you empty holding tank.
