Put one in. Don't you have a drain opening in the low point of your
ice box? My last boat had a small electric pump that I could use to
empty the standing water in the icebox. My current boat has a hand
operated pump that sort of resembles a bicycle pump.


Yes, it does have a drain opening, with a valve to open, but the valve leads
to just a section of flexible pipe I have to lead to the bucket. I'll
probably end up installing a hand operated pump and lead the hose to the
sink. Certainly not a major problem, but a regular annoyance.


Indeed. A friend went the low tech route and just routed the hose to
an empty plastic gallon water jug and empties it when it gets full.
You would have to have a place for it, but it is better than the
current alternative
