I have a 2004 282 with a question.

My galley sink drains very very slowly. I removed refrigerator today, to have a look.

I took apart the PVC " trap" and I knew I had a small electric splice sleeve that had fallen in the drain. Easy to remove, but looking at the plumbing, the sink drains into a " t" with the outlet piping then draining to the thruhull.

The drain pipe from the " t" to the thru hull is almost level.

Has anyone had to replumb this system to get better drainage out of the galley sink?

Thanks

And take any "belly" out of hose. And tie it up with a line or long wire tie to do so as well as shorten hose as needed.
