So...just completed the sale on the 27' Hunter pictured. Everything moved happily along until......my wife stepped down into the cabin and there was a strong odor of sewage. It gets even more complicated because she will not be open to trying any of the sort of chemicals commonly used in a toilet for RV's and so forth. So now I'm a little worried. The seller assured us that it could be pumped out, but for some reason, I have a feeling that isn't going to solve the whole problem.
I have no idea how the head works on this sailboat.
1. Is there a book like Heads for Dummies or something that will explain how the whole thing works?
2. Does anyone know of any alternatives to chemicals commonly used?
3. Any other suggestions (like possibly removing the head and plugging the whole thing up, opting, instead, for something like a composting toilet of the sort shown here https://www.tinyhousesinside.com/pr...8C2s-_BKLi2WBkMVnu5yHR_q8UUwT6JyBoCTSrw_wcB)?
I don't want to get too hung up on the composting toilet, so would prefer topic mainly on getting rid of the smell.
