Galley Sink Drain Plumbing

Stu wrote this in another thread regarding water heater replacement.

Don't know if you've seen this:

Same screw issues.  Looooong screwdriver worked.

That link goes to a tech article that Stu wrote a while ago showing how he replaced the Galley Sink Drain plumbing - one our 'Gotta Do' items as ours frequently drains into the cutlery draw beneath the Galley Sinks.

But our's has an additional hose in the drain system. That hose is T'd into the Drain hose and has a Rubber stopper in the other end. It appears to be for a Grey Water Tank, but I don't see how any sized tank could fit under the Sinks or under the 3 Drawer unit.

Does anyone else have a grey water tank?

Paul, I'll betcha it is for the ice box drain.  There is/are NO grey (gray!) water tanks on our boats.  Most of us have simply plugged that box drain.

Ah Ha! Good point Stu.

The 'Ice Box' (ours is a Fridge Freezer that keeps my Crunchy Klondike Bars Solid  ) drain has been blocked off by a PO.

Thanks.

Can you elaborate on Fridge Freezer?  I want Crunchy Klondike Bars!

Paul : I "re-teed" the fridge pump into the salt water outlet in the middle of the sink.  That way the sink drain was only used for the 2 sinks.

It's a regular Alder Barbour Fridge Freezer Unit (at least I think it's a 'regular' unit  )
