    Hello. I have an '04 57 Ocean with a pesky problem I'm trying to fix. Salon AC air handler is on the bridge and drains to a "T", then a hose that disappears into the boat. The other side of the T goes to a locker on the bridge with a drain hole. The locker is filling up with the water draining from the AC, because somewhere there is a blockage in the line. I took the T apart on the bridge, used a compressor, hose and a snake, as far as it would go. Out of frustration, I even tried Drano. Blockage is in some other part of the system. Apparently the cockpit sink drains through the same thru-hull and is fine. Before I tear the boat apart, any ideas?

    Sunseeker loves using Ys for their a/c drain hose and inevitably once a year or twice on this one boat, the same thing happens, it is always at the T and usually algae buildup. A garden hose nozzle tends to work better than compressed air.
