Smelly Airconditioning

I have a cruise air 2005 vintage. From what i can tell from the install manual which says never to drain condensate into the biildge it is liklely to be going into the shower sump. I have a call in Rich at Carver for instructions on how to get service access. I plan to do as reccomemnded with bleach. The manual talks about some sort of internal cleaning also with muriatic acid but i am shying away from that. Will try to take some pictures this weekend.

Thanks all
 
The internal cleaning will have no effect on smell. However it will increase the efficientcy of the unit's cooling or heating abilties think of it as an Angioplasty on thour evaporator's core.

Well i cleaned the return air filters as sternalaid and did find the internal filter and cleaned it too. Added bleach to the condensate pan which i found too. As it turns out the shower sump which also drain the head sink and the condensate pan was cracked and leaking into forward bildge. Seem like there was not enough water to activate the bildge pump so the water was standing and smelly. Replaced sump box and pumped and washed out water and added just a little bleach. The smell is starting to fade. I did not check the condensate hose for blockage but think it is ok. Lots of scraped hands, knuckles, fingers and knees. Hopefully smell will fade completely by next weekend.

Thx for all of the help...
 
Sounds like you found a quite a few problems all that would cause smell when circulating the air in the boat. One other thing you might want to try if everything you just did doesn't solve your problem, get a warm rag and wrap it around your head's blackwater hoses then remove and sniff the rag. If it smells you have permiated hoses in your waste system in addition to the above issues you resolved.
