Pep, what size fittings were on the filter you took out ?
IMO, the 1.5" hose should have a 1.5" filter so the line air flow is not restricted by the small fittings. The large waste vent lines really allow the tank to breathe and reduce odor problems.....good to see they have improved that system from the old 5/8 vent lines.

Re: Toilet vent
Now, was it installed in the wrong line? well, that will take some investigating. If it was installed in the pump out line, you'd have a hell of a time pumping out the tank, unless it was mistakenly installed in the overboard discharge line that never gets used.

Re: Toilet vent
I would start with multiple rinses and pump outs to try to get the majority of things out from the tank. Then proceed to remove the vent restriction the 5\8" size reduction has caused. Replace the filter with the correct size. Wait a few pump outs and see what the results are.
Not sure if putting tide into the toilet works but I have read it does and do this a few times a year along with water softener as a cleaning/shock treatment. The downside is it will kill beneficial bacteria hence I only used it a couple of times to clean. https://sites.google.com/site/cbruni/
Do not be cheap out pump outs, I see some people running to use the marina facilities all the time to stretch pump outs to a few times a year. This is a great way of accumulating waste buildup in the tank which unfortunately needs to be manually (gross to the 10 degree) removed if it gets too bad. Did mine several years back when I got the boat which by the way does come with 1 1/2" vent hose from the factory. There is a seperate filter and vent for each head.
