Hello all - I've been enjoying my first season with my 1988 E26. Great boat, just love it.
However, there's a rotten egg smell that comes from head whenever I'm pumping flushing water through. From other forums, I've determined that it's likely this is NOT a waste problem, but a case of seaweed and other natural life dying in the intake hose. Problem is, it looks like a bear to replace. The through hull is visible via an inspection port inside the small locker inside the step to the V berth. However, I can barely reach a hand in to touch the clamps, much less fit a screwdriver or wrench in.
My question - has anyone successfully changed the intake and outake hoses on this boat? Any recommendations about process?
Thanks,
Bill
