Subject: TWL: sink drain

>>>>I fixed the draining problem on both sinks by orienting the check
valve at a 45-degree angle, close to the sink. Both sinks now drain
adequately. This allows the valve to hang slightly open, otherwise they
stick and that's what causes them not to drain. the only downside is
that they clank when rolling in an anchorage, sometimes necessitating
shutting off the thru hull valve, but I've had no other problem with
them in 2 years.<<<<
>>Try putting a stopper in the sink. That creates an airlock so that the
water in the drain doesn't slosh back and forth.<<
Not only that but the stopper ends the gurgling sounds when you're under way
in rough seas!
