Hello, my brother in law has a 2004 390 Searay Sundancer. He is struggling to keep his water system from smelling rancid within two weeks of a Clorox flush. Is there an access port other that the fill port to thoroughly clean it out? Has anyone solved an issue like this? Thanks for your help!

A chemical recommendation is not being provided by me.
My process is to use bleach diluted w/ water, filled to the overflow vent, all added through the deck fill plate, permit to sit for about a half hour, run dry, partially fill, run dry again, refill to the overflow, drain several gallons, then done, leaving it almost full.
Bleach is harmful to many plastic and rubber parts, hence not recommended to others by me.
My 20 year ownership has not revealed any issues related to this infrequent treatment, every other year depending on water usage and need for cleaning.

You may have a high Iron count in your water, this will give you a "rotten egg" smell. If you do have a high iron count, the bleach will oxidize the iron leaving you with a rusty slime on the bottom of your water tank and hot water heater. I'd get the water tested.
Good luck,
Bow Tie

When you're finished with the boat for the day or week the last thing you do is turn off the water pressure pump and open the hot water faucet and bleed the pressure off. I do this so I'm constantly refilling the water heater because that's usually where the stink comes from.
