The galley sink in my 2009 SD 330 drains very, very slowly. Is it OK to use a land-based chemical like Drano?

prolly right, but if seas so heavy as to do that, i not leaving the slip.View attachment 99132
I believe the loop is there to prevent water from coming into the boat in heavy seas when underway. I would try bilge cleaner instead of a snake which may damage the drain line. Hot water is a good idea too.
I might try the Roto Rooter stuff. I went through 5 float switches before I figured out what was happening.I've used Roto Rooter drain cleaner in my showers twice in the last five years and have had no float switch problems...just sayin'.
I do flush it well afterwards.
I have a door in the top of my sump and a FW hose in my bilge, so it’s easy to clean and flush my sump.I might try the Roto Rooter stuff. I went through 5 float switches before I figured out what was happening.![]()
+1 I've done this on all my drains as regular maintenance...I put a little no flex down all my drains. They all drain faster now including the showers.
prolly right, but if seas so heavy as to do that, i not leaving the slip.
^^this^^I would keep loop in. It also prevents the chance of carbon monoxide from coming into your cabin. Never know if your slip mate or somebody on the hook runs the genny at night while you're sleeping...
Never got a bad weather forecast, huh?prolly right, but if seas so heavy as to do that, i not leaving the slip.
