[Alberg30] Ice box drain

[Villo Marmei]

Hi Richard....
Inside your ice box you have drain hole with a plastic hose going into the 
bilge. Take a 4 foot piece of solid electrical wire. Push this wire down 
the drain and pour some dish detergent and water down the drain...flood the 
bottom of the ice box. Jiggle wire back and forth until you see water 
flowing out of the ice box. I do this every season. I also wash the inside 
of the ice box with a light solution of water and Javex...this cuts the 
smell,grease and accumulated dirt away.
Good sailing
