[C320-list] Galley Sink Won't Drain

[Guy Henry]

My sink drain also wouldn't drain.  I think it was a combination of grease, etc. that blocked it.
I poured in hot water and gently plunged it until it started flowing again.

Subject: [C320-list] Galley Sink Won't Drain

My galley sink won't drain.  I assumed there was a clog in the hose but when I disconnected it yesterday I surprised to find that the problem was with the seacock ( ..and yes, the seacock was open ) and the hose was fine.  The manual basically says that there are no serviceable parts on the seacock.  I opened and closed the valve several times because repeating the same behavior while expecting different results is....oh,never mind.

Anyway, I'm assuming that there is either some growth on the bottom that is obstructing the flow or the valve itself is whacked.  If it's the latter, is there anything I can do other than replacing it?  What does the little white pen in the middle of the valve do? Anyone else have this problem?

Thanks!
