<< ht the boat it had a rubber bladder holding tank.  It didn't 
 take long for me to realize that the smell was from that.  I replaced the 
 tank and the hoses with the best hoses I could buy.  I ran them in the same 
 place the old ones were.  There was a hose going through the bulkhead into 
 the tank, and a hose for pumpout out, and a venthose, (smaller).  I did it 
 all in one day.  Rather messy and smelly, but not to bad. make sure the tank 
 is empty when you start.  have some Lysol or something like it handy.use new 
 clamps.  
  Pretty simple really, just a nasty job.  I used a 14 gal , ( Wilcox 
 Critenden, I think)

Hey,
Maybe 'flushing' the system with soapy water (Pine Sol, or somethng strong) 
before taking it apart to work on it would save you some of the smell 
unpleasantness.
Just an idea,
Lee
