1991 Californian 52 Slow Drains
FWIW the idiot mechanic who was supposed to winterize the boat poured RV antifreeze into every tank but didn't run it thru the lines. As a result we had several broken and leaking lines when we returned in June. We hope they've all been found and repaired or replaced but... no idea if this could be related to our slow drain problem but thought it worth mentioning.
Thanks for any help or suggestions!

They are probably pretty dirty and need a good cleaning. Just get some Fantastic type of cleaner, pour some in and hit it with a high pressure water hose. You can even use your hose up against the drains to flush out those drain hoses. This is something that needs to be done from time to time.

Carver manual says not to use caustic drain cleaners to avoid causing damage. Looking for suggestions for what to try next! The water seems to drain into some kind of holding tank and then pumps out from there. We have no idea where that tank is located nor what pump actually pumps it out.
