The ski locker drain in my 2005 210 Horizon is blocked. I’ve read it has to do with the fuel tank settling and crushing the drain hose. Repositioning the tank does not appear to be an option. Does anyone have any solutions to this problem? I have considered drilling a hole in the plastic drain and letting water just run out into the bilge. I assume that is where it would end up. I certainly don’t want to take a chance at drilling into the fuel tank, but I’m not sure how close it is to the drain. Any thoughts?

It is real close to the drain. There are 2 rubber straps under the tank that keep it off the floor. It is about 1/2 inch.

You need to get that unblocked quick. It causes rot when water sits. Poke a coat hanger in there to dislodge the blockage.

It all does drain to the bilge. Skii locker under the tank and into the bilge.

I don’t think a coat hanger will work. It must make a hard 90degree turn downward or something. I’ve tried pumping compressed air through there, plumbing snake, etc. The hose must be crushed. It sure what else to do.
