an end to ''stinky bilge'' and that trojan smell

my dad forwarded this website to me as a possible solution to stinky bilge. i looked at the site today and from what i gather, we trojan owners are not the only ones suffering from this. click on the hatteras link. there is a thread about ''that hatteras smell''. anyway, since there is not a price listed, i can only assume its well over a grand. hopefully once my rudder stuffing boxes are repacked this will atleast slow down the amount of water running forward when she sits at dock.

Ya know...my boat doesn't smell like that since I put in a new floor. Has no smell really. I think that stink gets in the carpet and the plywood floor. Just glue a new laminate over your floor and see??

I painted the bilge with Imron too...maybe that's what did it.

Gotta say, I tend to side with JC. My F32 does not smell. It did with the old head system. When I put my Pergo flooring in the lower galley, hallway area, I used vapor barrier- no smells.

Keeping the bilge somewhat clean will also help a great deal.

Aaron, you really haven't had your boat long enough to find all the nuiances and issues. Wait until you get her back on the water and are using it every weekend like the most of us, to see what's up. Don't compare your issues with other's...just yet.
