[QUOTE="WVfishnfool, post: 353477, member: 10364"] Can you clear out the excess foam in the bilge area first? I'd do that if you can then start trying to clear a place through the channel. Also since you made blocks of foam to go in under your floor I wouldn't think that the drain channels would be blocked completely but just maybe right at the front and rear where you showed me in the pics. So what you might be able to do is take a scrap steel rod(a piece of rebar maybe) that would fit through the channel. Sharpen one end to a point and then bend it on the other end to form a hand grip. Then take a torch and heat the sharp end up and not only push through but melt it as well. I'd try it on a scrap piece of foam first and if it doesn't catch on fire or make to big of a mess then go for it. I don't remember what I used to force the foam out with when I was cleaning and prepping my boat but I'll go take a look in my tool box tomorrow and see if I can refresh my memory. [/QUOTE]
