Quick drainage question...

Oh wow, I thought everything in the cuddy drained into the pipe. Wrong huh? Does the pipe go straight to the lower drain on bottom, dead center?

Like Skunk said, the pipe is the choke point in the bilge. The bulkhead forward of the tank under the cuddy entrance is probably acting like a dam. If you can get to the back of the pipe from a hatch behind the tank and run something through it it may break loose the guk in there and allow some draining. When I replaced my tank I ditched the pipe and foam around and under the tank and my bilge flows freely.
