Try re-hydrating anything rotten that's totally dried out and leave it
in warm sun for a day or two. Trust me...it'll start to stink again.

Why not fill the system with 10% bleach, let it sit for a few days and then
flush out?
Should kill anything that might still be alive after 6 years of dessication.

Because bleach--or any cleaning products that contain bleach--should
never be used in a marine toilet and hoses...it's highly damaging to the
rubber parts in toilets and also breaks down flex PVC, contributing to
odor permeation. Same is true of household chemical toilet bowl
cleaners, pine oil cleaners, Lysol, any petroleum based products, and
all other chemical cleaning products...none of 'em should ever be used
in a marine sanitation system.
