[C320-list] Clearing thru-hull obstruction

[Warren Updike]

Upon last leaving the boat I was unable to close the cooling water thru-hull
fully.  Got it about two thirds.  It seems that something like a twig is
lodged there.

Does anyone have any experience clearing such a thing?  I was thinking of
back-flushing with a hose; but, have to figure a way to do that without
forcing water through the system and filling the muffler.

Any ideas appreciated.
