- In episode 47 Scott and Ally try to figure out what stinks on their boat and where the awful smell is coming from. We own a 2002 Bayliner 4087 Aft Cabin MY. We thought our holding tank was leaking....turns out it was the inline vent that needed to be replaced! See the story here: boatingjourney.com/2019/10/13/...

Great video guys! Thanks for showing the honest side of boating. Owning a boat isn’t always cocktails and sunset cruises. As a boat owner we know we will all face situations like this with our equipment sooner or later. I hope you guys figure out the problem. There is ALWAYS something with a boat. No matter what kind of boat you have there is always something that will need to be addressed. Love the videos! Keep up the great work and have a nice cold strong drink! You guys deserve it!
Not a very pretty subject, but just another reality of owning a boat! Ever tried Simple Green brand of cleaner? I cleaned a friend's 37 foot Carver and later his Harbor Master Coastal 520 using Simple Green both interior and exterior. The owners described the boats as well "refreshed". Again, these videos are so great!
Many thanks for sharing your experiences, I hope you have got this problem sorted out now.
Thanks!
Hi, glad you got sorted ok. Great channel. A possible tip for all perhaps: I had the same issue, same setup as you and seriously difficult to get to the tank. I wanted to put some dye into the system to check if/where it was leaking but was worried a plumber's dye would upset the pump/seals etc. So instead I added a whole bottle of blue food colouring and flushed a few times and left it. Well, if you can eat food colouring, it can't be that bad. ...Then more water in bilge but good news: no dye. It turned out to be simply rainwater from somewhere.
Thanks for sharing! Did you ever get that smell gone, and if so, did you have to change any hoses or tanks and how much?
Check your hoses. If they are over 10 years old they could be the Odor issue. They only last about 10 years. Just smell the white hoses in different areas. If they are not leaching they really won’t smell. If they smell real bad, especially in a low spot, it’s time to change them. I know, I had to do it.
You kinda brushed off the crushed spot on top of the forward tank, which appear to have creased (and cracked) the tank. Did you take an inspection mirror or your flexible camera to inspect that location?
Lucky me, I have a bad sense of smell.
