recently the odor from my hot water has cured the head odors problem by overwhelming it . It smells like a rotten egg every time I use the hot water.

cure the problem

First, can't leave the boat for days on end without clorinating your water. The boats are best used constantly. Treat the water in your tanks just like a swimming pool. Get a pool test kit and check for PH and Cl2. If cruising then use a water maker and the water will be sterile however it won't remain that way for ever. There is no perfect solution other than constantly using the boat or draing/refil the tanks every time you leave/return. If not cruising and don't want to spend bucks for water maker then add cap full of clorox to each tank upon departure (mix it in) and the water should keep a week. Learn somthing about water quality.

Not the cure for THIS problem, Mitch

And, I suggest you read the article "Fresh Water Maintenance" in the Head Mistress forum reference library. Adding bleach to every fill does more harm than good.
