I have a 1997 Carver 405MY in the UK. I have constant urine smell from around both holding tanks. I have cleaned and flushed the tanks with clean water a number of times and used various off the shelf tank cleaning products and replaced the stern tank hoses but can't get rid of the smell.
We have only used the heads for urine, no solids over the last 14 years.
Could the plastic tanks themselves be the problem?
