Just got back from a lovely trip to the gulf islands, crossing the Strait of Georgia for my first time in our 78 C&C 34-1
Now cleaning up after the kids made a mess of the cockpit and the drains are clogged. Originally just one was clogged, but I stuck a small sink snake in and have clogged the other one too. There were some otters making a mess of mussel shells one time and I think some went down the drains. What I have tried: - blasting water down - small snake - shop vac blow and suck (not completely vacuumed sealed into the hose just held tight to the drain) - shutting and opening thru hulls - they aren't closing very well and I hear a sound like mussel shells when I close them Ideas: - go for a swim and poke a screw driver in from the water - close seacock, remove hose and check it. I'm worried it isn't shutting properly due to the cloggage though and don't want an surprise ingress of water while I'm contorting myself into the bilge to remove the hose clamps Any advice? Thanks, Jeremy
