The PO did a very good job of keeping up all repairs in pretty good fashion... but I found one not up to par.

My cabin/galley sink started leaking water in to the drawers below. Looks like there was a leak before and it was fixed with a combination of duct tape and a big trash bag. Oh well it worked for 3 years...

Just eyeballing this at 10pm last night - looks like the clamp on the hose has worn through what may have been a bigger hose than the fitting.

Question: How do I get access to this hose. It looks like it goes behind a cabinet under the sink. I would hate to be have to take the fridge out to get access to this hose... if so I may opt for more duct tape and a bigger trash bag as well.

Any idea on what my access options maybe so I can formulate a game plan?

Thanks in advance.

I believe the fridge comes out pretty easy on the F30 . But its been awhile

I would pull the fridge and do it right. I need to pull the fridge on the F32 and it's a tight fit to get to the sink drain area. I also have a Insinkerator disposal on mine...don't look forward to when I have to replace that. It still works well.

I will pull the Fridge... any bolts or anything holding it in? Or do i just pull it out...

Thanks

Mine is a F25 I had to take 4 screws out of the upper wood panel holding it in and it lifted up and slid out. I also took cabinet drawers off above the sink counter top and realized I could reach down to the access the hose but my boat is different than yours

I may be wrong, but I really believe that by pulling out the stove a long armed friend was able to get to the hose to help me replace it. That was an easier option than removing the refrigerator. Only a couple of screws held in the stove top. Take a look and see what you think.

may not have stove

mine didnt come with the fridge. just a hole where it used to be. i can access all the parts to the sink from inside there.

You have a very nice boat dollar bill, I love the pictures on your photo bucket acct.

IMO pull fridge, in addition to making the fix easier it gives you an opportunity to inspect in and under the whole galley areas for any lurking problems.

Never thought of using a garbage disposer in sink. I assume it discharges overboard as gray water. Not to question your installation but is that okay by the rules, if soe I might do the same thing?

Larry aren't you land locked ? If so you should be in a NDZ.

Larry, yes, it discharges overboard. I rarely use it...it's not like I stick corn cobs down there... But it does work when we need it. We mostly run it just to keep it from freezing up due to lack of use.

It was already installed when we got the boat. There's no regulations against it.

Yes unless I put er in the gulf. Sink water is okay in lakes that is why I was asking.

Good glad to see the water NAZI's haven't stop that down home....

To my knowledge there are no water nazis here (DNR) smiley face
