[C320-list] Access to fridge underside?

Consider using your wet-dry shop vac to suck the debris out.  Fill it with
water and try again until water drains to the bilge.

BUT double check first that the previous owner didn't route it to a Y-valve
under the bathroom sink for overboard pumping like is done with the newer
boats.  If that's the case, then it could be as simple as needing to run the
head shower sump with the thru-hull open and Y valve in the proper position.

Cheers!

Subject: [C320-list] Access to fridge underside?

The drain vent from the bottom of my fridge is almost totally blocked -
since before I owned the boat

It looks like small bits of grit or something like that (bits of plastic
packaging maybe,?but hard, anyway) have wedged in there I have tried poking
a flexible electricians cable router through the hose from the bilge but
cannot exert enough force to shift anything How difficult a job is it to
access the underside of the fridge? I cannot see any obvious way of removing
any panels etc If I could get access I'd like to increase insulation around
it as well Any other ideas for unblocking this - short of hydro fluidic
acid!
Thanks
