You might try a strong wet/dry shop vac and simply suck the stuff up and
out.

If there's gunk below the screens that forms a plug, then once the
screen is out, most hardware stores carry a very handy plastic barbed
drain cleaner tool that you simply stick down the drain and pull back
up. It's got lots of little barbs that catch all the debris and pull it
out. It's designed to be flexible enough to go through P-traps on sinks
and they seem to work pretty well.=20

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.=20

Subject: [frers-list]How to clean out the 2 aft cockpit drains from
topside ?
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=20
embedded/mounted be itself, with the 'screen', be removed and if so, how
?=20
If none of the above applies, any suggestions ?
Appreciatively,
Courtney Thomas
