Strong odor and sewage in the hull


I recently bought a 1994 280 Express. I was going over the boat and noticed a strong smell when I lifted the mid cabin floor access. I could see a small amount of sewage in the bottom of the hull. I put a hose and cleaner in there and started getting out some more “stuff”. I noticed a line about 3“ up the hull. I cleaned everything the best I can, but still have a strong odor.
Are there any solutions to help me get rid of the smell? It’s in the foam of the mattress as well?
What do you think caused this? It doesn’t appear to be a current problem, but I’m still figuring it out.
Should the mid cabin drain into the bilge area. It doesn’t seem to be.
Thanks for any help or ideas. I’m a new Carver owner.
