Minimizing Odors

wrote:

Consider installing a bilge blower (use a USCG-approved powerboat
blower). Have a friend who solved the problem of indeterminate odors
that way.

Cleaning his bilge once or twice a year instead of only dumping in more
cleaner and/or bleach would eliminate the need for the blower 'cuz it
would eliminate the odor. I'm always amazed at the amount of effort and
creativity that some people will invest in avoiding a little manual
labor occasionally.

Also consider piping fresh water to flush your head.

NEVER connect any toilet designed to use sea water to the onboard fresh
water supply...it cannot be done without risk of e-coli contamination of
the potable water supply, damage to the toilet, or both...and EVERY
toilet mfr warns against it in their installation instructions.

Only toilets designed to use pressurized flush water can safely be
connected to the fresh water supply.
