gatrpe Posted July 9, 2017 Report Posted July 9, 2017 2008 22 foot Pathfinder has a floor mounted cast net locker in front of the ice chest forward of the center console. The drain has stopped up and I have tried water jets, a plunger, coat hanger, all to avail. I suspect it drains to the bilge, but really don't know. Any suggestions?
SCFD rtrd. Posted July 10, 2017 Report Posted July 10, 2017 Mine also drains to the bilge. You might need to buy an electricians snake. They are pretty cheap and can be used in the future to pull wire. After you get it snaked out, you might want to install a flat strainer to keep big stuff out of the drain.
SCFD rtrd. Posted July 30, 2017 Report Posted July 30, 2017 Well????????????? did you get if fixed? It's customary to respond with the results. You are the one that was asking for help.
gatrpe Posted August 1, 2017 Author Report Posted August 1, 2017 Sorry. Did not know there were protocols for this site. Thanks for the suggestion. Have not tried it yet. Will advise on the results when I do.
bowdaddy Posted February 13, 2018 Report Posted February 13, 2018 I am experiencing the same problem, did the snake work?
gatrpe Posted November 20, 2018 Author Report Posted November 20, 2018 Long story, but here goes. After trying many options, and having my mechanic try as well, a marina figured it. The gas tank had been installed improperly. Apparently, it is mounted on two rails, using something like double sided tape. The installer did not pull the backing off one of the tapes and the tank was just sitting on the rail. Over time, it slipped off and somehow blocked the drain line from the net locker. I now have a repaired hole in my deck below the cooler behind the center console, and a new tank. But the net locker drains like a new one. I hope this was a one of a kind error by Pathfinder/Maverick and does not happen to anyone else. It was a fluke that we found the problem, and an expensive one at that.
