[Sentoa] Odor after Head Flushing

[Dave Aas]

The expert on boat odors is Peggy Hall.  She has a great book called
"Getting Rid of Boat Odors".  A product she recommends is called Odorless.
You can find it at most boating supply stores.  I really recommend getting
her book.

Jeff:

I'm sure that there are going to be lots of good suggestions.  There 
seem to be lots of products available.

On our 32 I was beginning to notice more odor when the Vacuflush was 
flushed.  In our case it seemed to me that the odor was emanating from 
the vent.

At Fisheries Supply in Seattle they suggesting using SeaZyme after the 
holding tank is emptied.  It has eliminated the odor problem.

SeaZyme is super easy to use.  It comes in a plastic tub with a scoop.  
One scoop flushed down the head will service our 30 gallon holding tank.

Good luck.
