There is only one solution to your problem.

Get under there and install a trap or have
your man do it.

I know what you mean about bleach,

A little bit of bleach goes a long long way and as long as you dilute it =
properly it won't eat gaskets and such...2 tablesppons of bleach to a 5 =
gallon bucket of water is enough to kill critters...I see people blop a =
cup to a gallon, though, which is way overkill....

Hi Seahag,

Try baking soda as a temporary fix. I use it in the disposal in my sink
occasionally when needed

I don't think it would do much to the enviroment like bleach would.

Just a temporary fix, mind you...

Yes it does, but a trap would ease the bend on the hose and hold a little
water so general smells wouldn't float back up to get'cha!

No, a trap will form a nice environment for more smelly critters. There is no
reason whatever to put a trap on any boat plumbing.

I think you could make an argument for a trap if you are using a holding tank,
I'd rather have some of the nasty gasses that form in a holding tank choose
to exit the system via an outboard vent than the interior sink drains.

If you had a straight gravity flow into th eholding tank with no valves or
anything, you could make a case for a trap. Personally I would think at least a
check valve ought to be in there.

You are absolutely correct on this point Kitty! The galley is a Man's
domain... where fillets are surgically removed from the freshest of daily
catches.... where steaks are seasoned to perfection prior to the grill!
Where potatoes are shown the respect they deserve and cooked with their
skins on! Where the onion slices are cut thick, mushrooms are sliced in half
and vegetables are a considered a garnish! Gleaming stainless counters and
dangerous stoves go hand in hand with razor sharp knives and a rocking
platform! A theater that would comfort a bomb squad is no place for the
frailty of a female best suited to adorning the deck or warming the bunk of
a true sailor!
