I just came home from a weekend on our 1987 Hunter 31. As I was leaving this afternoon, my wife noticed a bad odor comeing from the bildge area. We had this problem last year and found that some frozen chicken was the cause due to leaking down in the ice box, then into the bildge. Which stayed there through the summer. A little bleach and hot water fixed that problem.
We checked all of the other places that the usual suspects live and no odor. I poured about 24 oz. of bleach and hot water down the ice box drain and wa law, the odor disappered. I am thinking the drain hose that runs from under the ice box to the bildge has lived out its life.
I checked the history out in the forums, and found a similiar question. But his boat didn't have a drain hose. Mine does. Can this area be accessed somehow to be replaced?
According to Steve on that post, you can not get to the drain ot the bottom of the ice box without dismantling the boat. That was in 2003, so has any one found a way yet?
