[C320-list] Galley sink

[Peter Clancy]

Also had a problem with the galley sink draining slowly. Tried everything, no luck. Finally used a wooden dowel and worked it up into the thru hull opening from under the boat. This dislodged a build-up of unseen  sea creatures and gunk. Everything flowed freely thereafter.

  Keg of beer in the head solves the problem, or so I've read here. I have 
  the same sink situation and solve it with a paper towel when I leave the 
  boat, if I remember to do so, like everyone else.

  Does anyone have an easy solution for galley sinks that are draining 
  slowly?  This seems to be a frequent problem for me.  (My kids seem to 
  think we have a garbage disposal on board just like at home.)  By "easy" 
  I mean something that does not involve dismantling the drain lines or 
  hauling the boat.
