Default Stinky sink!

The gally sink on this boat stinks so bad I don't even want to come home any
more, much less have people over. It's slightly tolerable when we put a
garden hose down it for 20 minutes, but this ain't right. What kind of
drain hose do you think we should get? Lahaina had that rippled thorax
looking stuff and never was a problem..

Is it not draing properly? Can you close the sea cock and put draino
down it?

There is a sharpish bend under the sink, only part of the problem. It's
the same humongous black hose as the fuel fill. Original 1973 stock from
Taiwan, I was wondering if there is better hose y'all could recomend.

Mr. H. has been warned: No more cooking and paper plates until this is
done.

Boat smells like vomit!

How about hose designed for head waste. It's very strong and chemical
resistant. Here its black or white in color. You should be able to get a
suitable size.

What is on Ella? Not that you cook and do dishes every day, but curious
minds want to know!

We have PVC based pipe but no problems with smells. It's too old to tell
where it came from. The pipe is very smooth inside and does not hold
gunk. I think that's key. The other side is that you must prevent grease
build up... so tell Mr Hag no more fry ups!!! Try flushing the drain
once a month with hot water and laundry detergent with a closed sea
cock and then open it before it's cooled too much. Failing that, keep
some Draino handy. I'd really think about a chemical resistant tube if I
were you...

Close the seacocks and pour a bottle of Overproof Rum into the sink until
the hose is full.... let sit for 3 days. It will never smell bad again.
