Stinky Head

[bmetros]

I have Jabsco head, manual flush (pump for wet bowl, flip lever, pump dry bowl) and there seems to be a powerful smell only when I flush. Is there anything to do about this? Should I be adding more Oderloss?

Thanks in advance.

odorloss will only work properly if you have plenty of fresh air able to enter vent line.The single best thing you can do for any holding tank odor is to ADD another vent hose to your tank preferably on opposite side of boat to allow flow thru ventilation. The GOOD bacteria need plenty of oxygen to do their job of eatin the stinky bacteria. Check your present vent hose for possible obstruction.

Do you mean the smell is coming from the toilet bowl itself or from the external vent outlet?
If it's from the bowl the problem is in the raw water being pumped from outside. This is generally worse in salt than in fresh.
If it is the latter it is coming from the holding tank.
This subject has been covered many times in this and other forums.

if you are flushig raw water the stink is that water going off in the inlet lines.
