Help! How do I get rid of this oder in my boat?
 

Ok, Here it is! Has anyone seen the episode of Jerry Seinfeld where the
parking valet gets in Jerry's car and leaves a body oder in the car so bad
that Jerry can't find anyway to get rid of the smell? He finally has to get
rid of the car! I don't want to do this with my boat. I recently bought a 92
Chris Craft 302 Crowne. The boat had been laid up for 2 years without any
use. The boat was stored in the water and was winterized properly by a
reputable marina. The problem is a lingering arm pit oder. I've tried "Damp
Rid, Fabreze, Air wicks, Bilge Pro Cleaner, Clorox Bleach with Lemeon scent,
Lemon Scented Lysol, RV Oder Absorber" The oder has diminished alot, but I
still get wiffs of the smell. Sometimes extremely strong.


Heres what I've tried:

1: All the upohlstery has been cleaned and sprayed with fabreze
2: Carpets have been shampoo'd
3:Bedding has been washed
4: matresses have been cleaned and sprayed with fabreze
5: Forward Bilge has been cleaned with Bilge Pro and Clorox Bleach with
Lemon (you can eat out of the bilge its so clean)
6: Shower has been cleaned with Lemon Lysol
7: Air conditioner drain pan has been cleaned with Clorox
8: Air conditioning intakes, vents, and ducts have been sprayed with Lysol
9:Head has been treated with head treatment and with clorox
10:All surfaces have been wiped down with lysol
11:Drains have had clorox run through them

I have put the air fresheners in the boat, oder eliminators, and even damp
rid. Nothing seems to work. If I run the air the smell is less but if the
interior gets hot holy cow!

Any suggesstions?

It might be the hoses leading from the head to the holding tank. They
retain odor after a while.

Either that, or you've been "Smithered." Don't ask. :}

If he's been 'Smithered'...he may as well burn the boat to the waterline.

Some of the better hotels use some kind of high-tech product to get the
stank out of a room.
Ozium is one of them, and there are probably more. They don't just cover up
the smell: http://www.atmosphereproducts.com/pr...ium/index.html

Here's more suggestions:
1. run the boat at speed with all ventilators open to get some of the
surface odor to float off.
2. Get an ozone generator and leave it running inside the closed up boat.
I think ozone can degrade some odors. Some air purifiers have electrostatic
scrubbers that will attract odor particles as well as releasing ions that
can act on odors that are still attached to items.
3. If whatever caused the odor is still causing the odor, then you have to
find the source.

dead animal/ rodent between the hulls?

That's my vote. Or something somewhere that is still producing new odor.

If your boat is stored in Derby, Kansas, ask the current tenant to move out.

When we have inherited beds, etc from smokers, my wife uses coffee grounds
and apple pieces somehow, can ask her and repost but she gets some of
these ideas from Haley's Hints, try googling it.

Try 3 or 4 pounds of fresh gound coffee, spread it around like fertilizer,
including cupboards, lockers, dry areas of bilge etc.
Vaccum it up 2 or 3 days later.
May take several applications to work.
If nothing else works, then get an ozone generator.
Be careful ozone is harmful to your lungs etc. Make sure you air boat out
for couple hours before entering to check for odors.

Not if you use it properly. Just like water can be fatal if you drink
too much, the correct amount of ozone works well. Just don't overdo
it.

I don't think you will get rid of the odor unless you figure out where
it is coming from. Even an ozone generator will be temporary unless
you get rid of the source of the smell.

You haven't mentioned the plumbing and head (if any - not familiar
with this type of boat). Have you treated the water tanks and
associated plumbing?

Take out ALL the soft furnishings (carpet, curtains, cushions,
mattress, sheets), and air out the boat. Then shut up the boat. Does
the odor return? If not then the soft furnishings are the source.

Put the soft furnishings out in the sun. Then encase them in some way
(in a box in plastic for instance) See if they have an odor after
being sun dried. If the particular item does have an odor and if
cleaning doesn't get rid of the odor, then ditch that item and replace
it.
