plugged drain under the engine hatch

[SeaPSea]

Hey Everyone,
I have a 2015 242 Limited S that seems to have a clogged drain. It's the one that you see in the back channel once you open the engine hatch. Anyone know where this drains to or have any ideas on how to unclog it. I have already tried blasting water pressure down it with the hose.

Thanks

Your not talking about the drain area that goes to the main drain that the plug is in front of the articulating keel. You can usually pull stuff out of the main drain from outside with twizzers. If its to big to come out I've found you need to push the object about 12 to 18 inches to get access from engine bay.

Hey FireFly, I am not talking about the garboard drain. If you open the hatch it is at the top of the channel that you see. Typically under the the top of the engine hatch.
The hose snakes around before it disappears.

O ok I think they call that the scupper drain. The self draining cotpit drain. I have gone to the back of the boat it has a flapper valve I have pulled leaves out of.

Try putting a shop vac hose up around the scupper valve and sucking it out...
