Hey everyone!
I know this is not a new subject and have read many threads on the subject and made a few modifications to try and fix my issue but can’t seem to get there. I have a 2007 Mainship Trawler with the original 35G holding tank that has a saltwater flush system. I fully know that the stock vent line is too small and that getting air into the tank is key so here is what I have done and maybe someone can help me out (please be kind ?).
- I have installed a bubble system into the tank and run it 24/7
- Pump out and flush the tank with fresh water leaving it 1/2 full of just water after every outing
- Strictly use Xaal Noflex in the tank during use and after flushing
- currently no vent filter
My issue is the bubbler creates a constant flow out of the tank and it smells ? so when we have other boats come alongside they get the vent smell. Other than adding a filter (I know this is not recommended) or turning off the bubbler when we have other alongside (defeats the point of getting air into the tank) I’m at a loss of what to do next.
Suggestion are welcome, thanks
Rob
