Oceaniss 351-How to reattach fridge drain hose?

[jpeac2]

All -

Finally discovered a decent source of mold in our boat. The drain hose that runs to the bilge from the refrigerator somehow is disconnected. When we dump water into the fridge it just goes out right below the fridge onto the top of the water tank. Anyone have experience getting in there under the fridge to reattach?

I am looking around the paneling and right now it looks like I need to break the seal around the edge of the wood. Is this the only way to get access to the bottom of the fridge to reattach the drain hose?

Thank you for your help!

Call Ward at Beneteau- he can tell you the best approach.

Been through this problem. If it is the same or similar to my 331 taking out the cabinet is NOT what you want to do as it is very difficult. That was the advice from Beneteau themselves.

I did figure out great solution but too much to type but easy to do. It worked great and it's been three years. The fitting is bad as it was manufactured and it sheared off. Even the new one sent, which I never used was molded a little too thin which tells me it's a design issue.

Once I solved it it is about a couple hour fix.

Anyway contact me direct and ill give u my number if you are interested.

Happy 4th to all the Yanks!
