351 Ice Box Drain

[Barry Martens]

I have a 351 with a plugged Ice Box drain. I have traced the drain hose until it disappears into the grid system and I can't find out where it terminates. A "snake" was used without success. Can someone tell me if it drains into into the bilge or is there a seacock.

If it is like our 361...

it joins the drain from the refrigerator, and then goes to a foot pump and down the galley’s sink drain. It is a pain in the neck because when you have ice in the box, you have to manually, sorry pedally, drain it several times per day to prevent water spilling out of the refrigerator.

Fridge Drain

On our 390, the fridge drain is connected to the sea water intake for the galley sink. There is a valve where you select between the sea water or the fridge water being pumped into the sink via the foot pump. There is also a shutoff on the spout at the sink which needs to be opened for anything to pump. The valve and the sink drain seacock are both located under the sink, almost next to each other, close to the hull.
