From where your odor is coming from it sounds like you make have a leak on one of your pumps. You can either access from the forward comaprtment in front of the berth or through the flooor in the prot stateroom under the bunk. Had to replace a pump last year and they are difficult to get to.
I have the same boat and I try to limit to no more than 12. And this would be only for something like a short trip to raft out for a fireworks show, etc. As for a day cruise, I found 8 is a number where I feel I can have an enjoyable trip and keeping things managable.
