Start using Noflex Digestor in your holding tanks.
I replaced hoses only to have problems again a few years after on a 444 (same as 396). No need to replace hoses again if you use this as it dissolves the waste completely instead of just adding perfume.
My tanks became clean after a few months of usage. I also don't use the vents anymore, I just removed all the internals of the vent. In the aft stateroom if you look at where the vent is it'll get full of waste every time you go on plane if tank is more than 2/3 full. As soon as the carbon in the vent becomes wet it's useless. Now I just stick a garden hose in the vent at end of season and back flush it into the tank.

I think you can get it on amazon now, I normally got it from fisheries supply.
