Courtney, the plastic screens should pop out.  Be careful, because they get brittle over time.  Gently pry out with a small screw drive or knife, or make a hook with a coat hanger wire.

Greetings !

I would appreciate knowing how to clean the 2 sternmost cockpit drains without diving into the starboard
cockpit hatch and wrestling with all the below deck apparatus.

I don't want to break 'em but can see lots of debris stuffing the crosshatched screen and want to most easily
clean it out.

Can they be unscrewed and if so, how ? If not, can the solid circular annular ring in which the screen is 
embedded/mounted be itself, with the 'screen', be removed and if so, how ? 

If none of the above applies, any suggestions ?

Appreciatively,

Courtney Thomas                           _______________________________________________
