Drains backed up

[Muws]

Just received a lot of rain and some water collected in the stern under the engine cover. There are drain holes there and hoses run from them to somewhere in the hull but I can't trace them. Not sure if the drains are clogged or what's going on but can't have water there in the winter obviously. I tried running the bilge pump with no luck. Any ideas on how to drain these? The tubes underneath go somewhere but can't figure out where...

There's a blockage somewhere in the line and you'll just have to track it down. It hits a T there so try taking that apart and blowing through the lines until you find the one that won't budge. Most likely it's just a kink in the hose somewhere.

I have successfully cleared a blockage (was near the drain inlet) by just using a cart hanger and flushing... It was enough to break up a crap I guess. A portable compressed air tank with blow nozzle should also work...

Cool. Thanks. It drained slowly over-night and I did the blow technique to clear it out. Not sure where the water went but I was able to get it to drain.

Cheers,
