[C320-list] Sink thru-hulls

[mike gutshall]

Try blowing thru a stiff rubber hose that fits over the drain opening just enough that it forms somewhat of a seal.  A piece of rubber hose about a foot or a foot and a half might do the trick.  I unclogged our galley drain by doing this.  position a drain stopper in one of the drains, run water into the sink so that you have standing water, apply the hose over the unstopped drain and blow as hard as you can.  This may push out any build up or obstructions limiting the flow of water.

  My boat has yet to launch this year, but I would like to resolve one last problem before it does. I'm sure I can count on the list as usual with the best solution. Both my galley and head sinks are very slow draining, not sure whether to attack this from the top or bottom and how best to fix.
