| Post subject: | Slow Draining Head Sink |
I was flushing out the water system last night for the first time and I noticed that my head sink was draining extremely slow. The bowl would fill up and slowly drain out. It would also give the occaisionaly gargle. Now in my old Sundowner, it had a built in cooler that would drain to the outside. It had a similar problem with draining slowly. I pulled off the access panel and noticed that the hose was too long from the factory causing it to have a portion of hose that ran against gravity and hence slowed the drianing. I haven't investigated it in the vista yet, but has anyone else had a similiar problem? |

Does it drain overboard or into the shower sump. On my 258 the head sink went to the shower sump which didn't always work, so i installed a thru hull so it would drain overboard. Solved my problem. |

It drains overboard. Slowly, but that is where it goes. |

Were your thru hulls covered during layup. If not check for spiders or a nest of some sort. Maybe bees. Sounds as if something is iin there. Mine is the same and drains good. |

Same here, my thru hulls drain faster than you can put the water in. They work QUITE well... A true shock comming from a Stingray that had a crappy sink that barely drained at all (and it wasn't plugged up, it was just a joke). |

I think on our 248's the sinks (head and galley) drain into the sump in the cabin and them overboard. Does the galley sink drain slow too? My sink drains pretty quick, so if it is the head sink only, you can take a look at the sink plumbing by taking off the cabinet in the head. |

Our 258 head sink and shower drain into the sump, there is a strainer that gets clogged up after a lot of use. that makes it drain slow if I don't clean it occasionally |

The 248 Galley and Head sinks drain straight overboard (at least they do on my 06) the only thing that drains into the Sump is the shower drain and the Air Conditioning Condensate Pan. |
