So I was reading a thread on this topic in the forum from 14 years ago. Since I am the head cook and bottle washer (and Chief Mechanical Engineer) on our 2003 MKII, I want to try and solve the slow draining problem. My older Bro is the Captian and electronics Chief. The Cat 36 is currently on the hard so yesterday I ran a small diameter snake up the through hull and there was absolutely no obstruction in that part of the drain hose. Once I got on to the boat I removed the galley sink drawer and through hull access panel to get a clear view of the plumbing. I've included a picture of what I saw.
I'm thinking I should rotate the drain line T-joint 90 degrees so it faces downward. Simple physics would make gravity promote faster draining. Is there a reason this was setup this way?
I saw someone in a related post said they extended the drain lines from each sink and lowered the T-joint in the process and that seemed to help. So how about extending each sink drain hose and join it to a Y-joint further down for a more direct and gravity driven water flow.
I'd love to hear if others have had this issue and if it bothered anyone enough to fix it.
Pretty sure the hose is routed like that because otherwise the drawer would interfere with the drain. Mine looked like that until I replaced my sink with a large single sink. I still had to route the line up and overthe drawer though.
