[C320-list] Radio License & Fridge Drain

[Kirk McCullough]

Many people have replumbed the fridge drain to the shower discharge 
thru-hull.

I decided to keep it simple and so I added a short length of flexible tube 
to the fridge outlet then put a plug in it (in the bilge area). We only 
unplug it when we wash out and drain the fridge.   I pull out the plug and 
slip the hose into an old bleach bottle. Fill the bottle and dump overboard.

Not so elegant but very simple to do.
