So enjoying my first week with my new (to me) 55 (formerly iolani) now named Coder. The fwd shower drain was draining slowly, the fwd sink seems fine. It stopped draining tonight and the shower floor was floating. I plungered it and it drained empty but slowly. How to clean it out? I guess draino isn't an option:) Billy Amel 55#56

Welcome to the glamorous (not so much) side of boat ownership. You could try a small drain snake, I have used the one pictured. It was purchased at Lowes for $10.00. You should be able to find an equivalent just about anywhere. Also good for cleaning marine growth out of the raw water line from the distribution manifold to the refrigeration pump.

I found the best way to move a gray water clog is to use a wet-vac to move it with suction first...if that doesn't move it add water and use the wet-vac to blow it to the gray water bilge. Bill

Hi Billy, welcome to ownership of a great boat! On my boat, the shower also seems to drain slower than the sink but it hasn’t clogged. Both drains feed into just one hose so the problem you are experiencing must be before the junction with the sink drain. I have used a small snake which has improved the shower drain. Good luck!

on kimberlite there is a valve in the forward bilge in the main cabin. it is in the hose that drains stuff forward of the door. it is closed when the boat is stored. i dont know if you boat has the red handle d valve.
