I can see the A/C unit under a panel under a couch cushion on the S.B. side.

I will look for the drain hose and follow it.

Thanks

Well it looks like we have narrowed down the location of the smell.
:cry:
Odour is the worst at the blackwater tank.
Going to rip the works out. Tank, hoses & toilet.
Replacing it with an Airhead composting toilet.
My understanding with a composting toilet is for two people living aboard it lasts about a month before needing to he emptied.
Dump the compost in a bag for the trash and add new peat moss. Done.
This should work out best for us as I understand pump outs in the Caribbean are hard to find and expensive.
That's where we intend to spend our winters, on the boat, very soon.

Well turns out EVERY possible component of the waste system was leaking... :cry:
Toilet was leaking. Lines where leaking. Connections at tank etc where leaking.

Our solution can be seen here: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=4256 :down:
