It sounds crazy... but the inlet lines on toilets will also permeate. Very small creatures are suspended in the seawater and will build up causing stink. I know as I chased a stinky hose problem for 5 months before replacing the inlet hose, solving the problem.
However, a bigger issue to me would be getting a proper PEX connector attached to the through
hull. PEX is not designed to use a standard "barbed" connector, but to use a proprietary PEX connector (has ridges instead of barbs). Maybe you can find a PEX connector that screws into a standard thru-hull fitting.
