Draining the ice wells

[Thejanitor000]

Any idea how to drain the ice wells in the 2300sc? All I can see is a little plastic hole in the bottom but it's not draining. I'm hesitant to stick something in it too far for fear of creating a problem.

I had the same thing happen to a searay 200 that I used to own. I cleared the clog by pushing an electrican's fish tape through the drain until it exited the overboard fitting.
A fish tape is stiff yet flexable and has a rounded head so it should not damage the drain hose assuming it is in good shape.

Thanks Mike. I'll try to get over there today & give it a shot. Can I grab the fish tape from Home Depot?

yes, you can find it in the electrical department

Or go underneath and see if you can access the drain tube itself. It should be connected to a barb fitting with a hose clamp on the drain as one on the through hull discharge as well. You might be able to pull the hose. It may require a panel be removed. I have to remove the overhead panel in the midcabin to get to mine. It's 6 screws, so it's not hard.

i have the same boat great boat,
it just drains to the bilge just like the cheap ice box they put in not a good design

I flushed out the hole with the hose. It did the trick!

Glad to hear you were able to fix the problem easly and cheaply enough
