B331 Shower Drain Line

[Dan Ratko]

New boat to me.  Just got the water system up and running for the year and everything works good.  The shower pump however, appears brand new with a new screen, but seems plugged.  I pulled the hose on both ends and on the shower drain side of the strainer there as all sorts of hair and plastic debris.   I cleaned it out, but still am not getting good suction. 

Based on what I found and how much of it, I still suspect there is more debris in this hose.  I am seeking advise or tips on rodding out this line.  It's a fairly small (1/2" or so ID) so a lot of usual plumbing tools may not fit in there.  I can only access each end and am not sure how it is routed through.  I'd like to just run a cleaner through this line, if anyone had tips on what may fit.   

I'm going to try to use a fish line for electrical, but if anyone had tips I'd appreciate it. 

BTW, pump is new and has good suction.

Air compressor perhaps.

You would probably be better off replacing the hose.

Put a compressed air hose or water hose and blow it out.

These are all good ideas,  I am going to try and put some pressure (air/water) on it first because I am nearly certain there is still debris in there.  There were small plastic pieces like legos or something else.    

Also, I wasn't aware of that valve you mentioned, assuming each had their own outlet.  I did notice I had a second shower pump, which I assumed was for the fridge, but maybe I didn't realize downstream of it it may go to same seacock.  This valve was in the middle position, not favoring either.

2 pimps on 331.

One for freshwater, second is shower/fridge drain. Valve under sink MUST be one way or other, not part way. Manual is available on B website.

Thanks, I just found that in the online manual.  It was centered so was likely it was closed or only partially open each way, but the confusion is that I definitely have a 3rd pump connected.  This may have been installed sometime in the last 18 years.  I will have a helper feel which one kicks on when I run the fridge drain (its on a momentary switch).    

I'll trace everything out and share what I found.

Third pump is likely bilge pump.

Shoved or jumped?

I used Tim once and found him to be pretty good.

When you know rob Tashoff, the CEO, you'll figure out which one.

I have heard he is a tough nut to crack.
