Head Nurse
We got to the boat last friday and were greeted by a terrible smell that I thought was coming from the head. After a lot of cleaning and looking for leaks the smell was still there. I chalked it up to not having been to the boat in a couple weeks and thought maybe the smell would go away. Well, Pam took a shower on ... Read Moresunday morning when I went to go get coffee and donuts and discovered the shower pan was not draining. The shower pan drains into a box with a small bilge pump in it and it was not draining. So we found out that the mystery smell was coming from non draining shower water! So we cleaned it out, fixed the problem, etc which took all day so we did not get to go sailing. In the process of fixing that problem I discovered the shower pan had rotting wood around it! Well I tore out all that rooted wood and replaced it with epoxy resin. Now that shower pan should never leak and the smell should be gone!That is the way projects go on a boat..
