2020 24-c coupe anchor locker drain

[sailorbob]

How do I access the anchor locker drain hose on a 2020 Cutwater 24-c? It's not draining.

Thanks,

Bob

Hi there Bob,

The most surefire way to get at the anchor locker drain is to remove your anchor and rode (put it on the dock). That way you will have complete access to the bottom of the locker and can see what material is clogging up the line and what else is there that should be removed before it finds its way into the hose. Once you have done that, remove any debris on the drain opening and gently send some water down it using the spray nozzle on your water hose. That should flush out any debris through the drain hole that you can see on the bow below the bow eye. If that doesn't work, you can shoot some water from the hole at the bow upward through that hose and into the locker. That should get any remaining debris. If that still doesn't work, then you can use a piece of stiff wire or similar to get the drain cleared of any remaining debris. Then just hose it down to get it nice and clean afterward. Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Ralf

Hi Ralf,

Thanks for your reply...but I have done all of that already and it is still clogged or kinked ..or not connected.
When I try to run a stiff wire down the pipe it stops at about 1 1/2 feet and won't go any further.

How can I access the drain pipe directly to see if it is kinked or not connected.

Thanks,

Bob

Hi Bob,

You can remove the vinyl covered panel in the vberth at the aft end of the anchor locker. That should allow you to be able to see the drain hose. Hope this helps but let me know.

Cheers,

Ralf
