Our new to us Catalina Capri 26 has a smelly head. I've learned here that I probably need to replace our waste lines. Yesterday I crawled around to try to measure how much hose I needed to purchase. I think it's roughly 10 feet.
But, I made a new discovery. Our boat has a macerator pump. The discharge is disconnected. We're on an inland lake, so that's good news. However, the hoses are all still in place. The waste hose from the holding tank comes right out of the bottom of a T connector, below the pump out line. This is at the bottom of the holding tank. Doesn't that virtually ensure that those hoses are full of old waste? Yuck.
My first thought is that I should replace that T with an elbow and remove the hoses to the macerator pump and further abandon it. We have no use for it.
Please let me know your thoughts. Not looking forward to this job, but I sure want to get rid of the smell.
