The intake for my head appears to be clogged, or at least partially

I'm having a diver clean the bottom soon, and I'll have him be extra
sure to check the thru-hull,

but, if that fails, what is my next move?

Not sure how to clear the hose/thruhull without letting plenty of water
in the boat.

also, I'd prefer to avoid being sprayed with "head juice"

Peggy? Anyone?

Thanks,

Mike.


Hi Mike,

If it's the head -intake- it shouldn't be too bad. The intake is salt
water only, so if it can't be cleared at the through hull by the diver,
then close it and pull the hose. Usually head intakes are a fairly
small diameter, so you shouldn't have too much water to deal with.

If you find that it's the discharge side that's clogged, well... that's
a whole different story ;-)
