Erik,
I have a 6" inspection port installed in the bulkhead under the stove. I have easy access to the drain fitting and hose. It came with the boat. My drain used to go to a small pump under the sink, but I opted for letting it drain into the bilge via gravity. Since installing refrigeration, I doubt the drain serves a useful purpose. The inspection port is barely visible from the cabin. You may want to consider installing on, if other methods don't clear your drain.

The reefer drain on our boat is completely clogged; it makes a horrible mess when a few bags of ice melt in it and we need to bail the thing out, meanwhile food sits in standing water and labels soak off all the beers. I've tried 3 different snakes and even liquid plumber. Nothing works. Problem is, I've found this to be the only inaccessible part of the boat. The plumbing for the drain is all contained totally enclosed. the plumbing exits through a very small hole in the bulkhead under the sink where it drains into the bilge. Anyway I can get to this without cutting a hole the bulkhead? Does the drain screw into the bottom of the reefer, anyway I can get it out that way? Anyone else ever removed or replaced this plumbing? My last resort is considering routing a hole in the counter beneath the reefer, next to the stove and putting in a large inspection port after fixing it, but it's not a very aesthetically pleasing option to me. After trying snakes and chemical options I've pretty much given up on clearing the clog without taking it apart. It's never drained since I bought the boat, so for all I know someone poured epoxy down it, it certainly isn't your normal clog. Erik C&C 35-3
