[C320-list] Water heater smell

[wflowe3 at aim.com]

For future reference, I suggest that you just by-pass the water heater and drain it for winterization instead of using antifreeze in your system. There are photos of how to bypass the heater on the website. It takes about 10 minutes. Once the heater is drained, you drain the water tanks and use a shop vac to blow/suck water out of all the water lines. I do this at the water pump. I have never used antifreeze in any of the boats I've owned and never had a line freeze and break.

Last winter I had winterized the water system with antifreeze and this spring 
after eliminating the antifreeze through a couple of flushes I realized a very 
disgusting smell. I used vinegar and a small touch of bleach and still the 
smell, a rotten egg smell. Is there anything anyone can recommend besides 
bleach.
