I am getting a foul odor from my head set-up.Pump flush bowl,holding tank,macerator.The boat is new to me and I pumped out the tank and filled with bleach and ran through the system.I let it set for about 15 minutes and flushed with fresh water and have not used it since.I get an odor when it is hot.I will change the hoses,but I cant locate where the vent outlet is.There is no outlet outside the boat,just a gas and water vent.Any suggestions???

Re: head,holding tank odor

They make chemicals that are designed for this and should be available at any RV dealer or Marina that deals in large boats, also available at wall-mart. Follow the directions and ad a bit of water to the holding tank to allow them to work. Ps get the bleach out of there it will dry and destroy any seals in the system.
