The drain in my boat looks like a length of PVC pipe from the aft end of the
ski locker to the forward end of the engine compartment. (My boat has a
sterndrive.) If you can't clear it from one end, try from the other. I don't
know about pouring cleaners in there. You might try blasting it with a
garden hose, but if you can't get a snake through I don't think water would
clear it.

Ive tried snaking a cable line down through there and I got it about 3
feet.
Im going to borrow someones drain snake today so I can get it further.
Where should I look for the other end of this tube?

If it is clogged what can I safely pour down it? Some fiberglass draino?
:-)

Thanks!

That's a distinct possibility. That tube looks pretty big in the photos.
It
could hold a fair amount of water if the back end of it is stopped up:
When
the boat is floating the water could be stored in the tube but when it's
on
the trailer it could flow forward into the floor. Fishing something
through
the tube to see if it's blocked sounds like a good move.
