I had a different one clog up recently...the one for the master stateroom....that is probably the only handler on the boat that is mounted at floor level....i.e. Below the waterline on lower level stateroom. Therefore suspect that one drains into bilge but all others are overhead and drain overboard via the hull outlets.

Anyhow, I did clear that one on Friday via shop vac as it's probably a short run of hose....the salon system is still overflowing on occasion even after shop vac action.

My question is, is the Diversitech CO2 blow gun good for more than one shot per cartridge ? Alternatively, have any of you figured out an easy way to add a hose small enough to fit in a drain opening to the end of a typical garden hose nozzle ?

(on edit) Guess the below might do the trick....
