[Public-List] Ice-box drain problem

Hi all.

I sail #167 (Kinship III) and need some guidance. The ice-box has been 
filling with water and the drain hose to the bilge seems to be blocked. 
We've tried to unblock it by inserting a small tube but even though it 
is flexible it won't turn the corner and get to the end that empties to 
the bilge so we tried it from that end and ran into the same problem 
going up to the ice-box.

So, question 1 is whether I have any options to clear it other than 
disconnecting the clamp to the hose and hoping I can reconnect it?

Question 2 is if anyone has any thoughts about where the water may be 
coming from. The on deck beverage storage compartment (above the 
ice-box) is dry and we can't see any obvious place water may be coming in.

Any help would be appreciated.

Arthur
