Fish Box Drains
I am a very happy owner of a 2016 OS 325 and just love the boat! But I have an issue with the fish box drains around the top of the lid that catches rain water and boat wash water. The center hatch has the same type of drain and they seem to tee together.
The issue is that none of them drain, instead the fish boxes fill with the water. Its fresh water so i know its not coming in from the ocean. The only way that i can drain the fish boxes is using the macerator pump which takes forever and seems wrong since i never even open the fishboxes so water should never get into them in the first place...
The dealer states he blew the lines during spring commissioning, but first day back with the boat on the water and the same thing happened again. This has been an issue since i picked up the boat from day 1 last August, so i know its not from something i did.
The dealer is great and is willing to continue to investigate but just wondering if anyone here has had a similar experience or has any ideas...
Many thanks!

Had same issue. The drain fitting in the well around the hatches were clogged. Removed the fittings by loosening the hose clamps under the hatches and cleaned them out. works fine now however the diameter of those fittings is kinda small when there is a lot of water on the deck. Thats where a tight gasket comes into play.
