Hose off, now Thruhull problem!
Hi,
Finally got that old hose off with a hacksaw and a fair amount of flame. Problem is, I STILL haven't found the blockage! I usually find that if the blockage is in the thruhull, opening the valve with the hose off gives a blast of reverse water that clears it. This time, NOTHING! not a trickle. Obviously, I can't remove the thruhull without hauling the boat, so I'm looking for alternatives. One thought - could the handle on the thruhull be broken and the valve is just not opening? Seems to be doing something... Or, I can get my Lady the semi-fish to dive under and poke at it from the outside with a stick, making sure she doesn't leave the stick in. If that doesn't work, can I use the 1" thruhull currently used for the head sink drain? Either T it, or live without a sink in the head until I haul the boat. Comments? Suggestions?
