Thanks for all the advice (and all the intereting facts about cockpit drainage!) think I will try a combo of all these - the copper pipe is a good one - allows a bit more leverage but will kink and bend before it breaks something!

Thanks to all who contributed.....
 
Err...I have a Laguna 11.5 built by American Marine in nineteen hundred and seventy two, the cockpit drains are above the waterline......but the galley and heads sink outlets are below the waterline....... /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
Never been able to figure out why they did this.
