Re: Boat Stink: The tale as old as time
While you are working through the various potential causes, you may want to get a Kanberra Tea Tree deodorizer for the cabin. The Admiral has a million candle power nose, and the Kanberra works to eliminate general boat odors. At least the living area should be more comfortable, and you will not hear the complaint over and over and over again.

You can mix up your own noflex for a lot less money the recipe is on a Searay site. It works great.

The old Tolly skipper wrapped the waist lines in tape and that helped but I would get rid of any lines after doing that damp cloth test. They are not that easy to replace on most boats.
My 39 Bayliner had a vent with charcoal filter inline that was part of the issue.
I cut it open and added new charcoal and that stopped the smell in the vacu flush tank area
