Draining

Post by Jim Davis »

I have found the easiest way is to find the low spot in the hose and put a "tee" fitting in the hose. One leg of the "tee" goes to a valve, or plug for draining purposes and let gravity do the work.

I took forever using my foot pump. I got the whole interior lemon oiled while I was waiting for the sink to drain umpteen times. Also removed a broken hatch adjuster, vacuumed and cleaned out my tool box.

Thanks for the info, makes a lot more sense. I'll probably be installing a tee as well.
