    1. As noted above, how old is the charcoal in it?

    2. Hoses connected to it?

    3. Hose connected to tank?  Mine was connected badly..wrong size tubing at the holding tank fitting

    4. Look for cracks on the tank or a loose sensor.

    2 years old. Maybe it needs to be changed?

    You should change it annually.  Go from there.

    I do mine every year and never had that fine small overtake my boat again.  Now I just smell others :P

    If you got the charcoal wet because the waste tank was over full, then you need to replace the charcoal. I just replaced mine after three years of use. Although it was still working, the charcoal was pretty smelly after three seasons.

    Make sure to change the foam piece too. You can't wash that smell out of it, believe me, I tried.
