Frig drain on Oceanis 370

[islandrunner70]

I have taken ownership of a 1993 Oceanis 370. The water does not drain out of the frig drain and I can't find where the drain output is. I have "snaked" the drain with a wire but still no drainage.

Any ideas? I have checked the bilge area and can't find a separate hose from the frig.

Thanks

I am not sure if yours is the same but on my bene there is a red handle where the bilge strainer is, flip the handle and it will drain the fridge, just remember to flip it back.

There are two possible setups. The first is that there is a Y valve that selects either bilge or fridge when you turn on the manual bilge pump switch. The other one is that you have a separate pump for the fridge and is energized by turning on the shower pump breaker and pressing the pump button somewhere near the sink. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the help, but no luck. Did all the checks as suggested by the boat does not appear to be configed as such. Any other suggestions?

EVERY Beneteau owner should be registered to the BeneteauUSA parts system, and have their parts customer service phone number on speed dial:

Just did a quick scan of your boat on spareparts and it appears that a drain hose was OEM routed to your bilge sump. Looks to be a gravity drain, not a powered "shower pump" configuration.

While you have one of the beneteauUSA guys on the horn, have them send you the manual in pdf.

Good Luck
