Slow sink

My double sink on my 83 10 Meter drains super slow. The left side will hold water as soon as I turn on the water and take about 5 minutes to drain. The right side is about half the time. I wash dishes in the head sink. Is there anything safe to pour down the drain to open this up? The sink looks good and I know at some point it had to work better.

Does it have a trap? Worth pulling off and checking.

Probably food debris & etc other nastiness.
There is a 90 degree fitting at the bottom of the sink to allow clearance for the top of the fridge, and yes, it's very tight !
When mine gets slow, I just give it a blast from the garden hose when washing the boat.
Might as well go ahead and do them all !

I had that issue in my F44 and it wasnt at the trap. The drain line typically drains out below the water line where there is a clam shell style outlet fitting. Mine was full of junk on the inside. I took a knife (boat was out of the water) and dug out what I could then disconnected the drain line at a connection near the fitting and sucked it out with a shop vac. Seemed to work for me.
